The wait is Noma

Noma Kaffe

GOODS & SERVICES • FOUND Larder

Noma Kaffe is the freshly minted subscription coffee arm of René Redzepi’s famed Copenhagen restaurant. And true to Noma form, the service already has a waitlist. Subscribers who made the cut will receive monthly deliveries of two 250g bags for $65 (including shipping), designed for filter-style brewing. The team promises the waitlist will move, with new slots opening each month.

Carolyne Lane, who ran the restaurant’s coffee and tea program for the past six years, heads up the Kaffe, which roasts its beans just a few minutes away from the restaurant under the supervision of head roaster Alistair Hesp. “We value clarity in flavor,” says Lane, explaining Noma’s mission to “taste a coffee’s origin in the cup.” This translates to light-roasted beans and coffees with a tea-like quality that offer nuanced, delicate cups with tastes of cherries and jasmine.

The project is sourcing beans from a number of locales, including Mexico, where they procured 20 distinct nano lots from indigenous Tzeltal and Tzotzil communities. Drink up. –Kat Odell
