Bio Rösterei Barth

At the Bio Rösterei LandDelikat in Barth, roasting demonstrations are a good opportunity to watch the roasters at work and learn more about the unusual roasting business. In addition to lupine coffee, the Rost family also produces grain coffee, fine speciality coffees and offers freshly roasted cocoa beans to snack on. The well-tolerated grains and exceptionally sweet lupins come from its own organic farming south of Stralsund. The company has been certified organic from the beginning and works gently in the traditional way with a gas-powered drum roaster. Definitely worth a visit.
