\u201cIt\u2019s a big deal, especially for our town. It’s a little town. Winter Haven is very small,\u201d said Lynsey Lane, co-owner of Haven Coffee Roasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Haven Coffee Roasters,<\/a> it is not your average cup of Joe. The specialty coffee cafe recently competed in Australia in the Golden Bean World Series. It\u2019s the world’s largest coffee roasting competition. Haven Coffee Roasters won the title of the world’s best coffee roaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe competition spans throughout Australia and the United States, so we take it very much with pride,\u201d said Jon Lane, co-owner of Haven Coffee Roasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee roasters are judged on three categories: espresso, milk-based, and filter. Jon Lane, the head roaster at Haven Coffee Roasters, says making the world\u2019s best-tasting coffee takes a lot of trial and error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrying and tasting to figure out the right blend and the right adjustment of the blends. How old and how fresh? Just figuring out the best coffees that are going to taste the best,\u201d said Jon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jon opened Haven Coffee Roasters three years ago after being laid off during the pandemic. They are the only craft coffee roaster in Winter Haven and provide wholesale beans to local cafes across Polk County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love the flavor. It’s very intense without having the burnt flavor that you often get in coffees,\u201d said loyal customer Kim Keen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winning blend \u201cRy-Jo Blend,\u201d is now available in-store and online. The owners hope to put Florida on the map for great-tasting specialty coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn other states, they place a much higher emphasis on specialty coffee. Down here in Florida we\u2019re not quite up to that yet,\u201d said Lynsey Lane. \u201cBringing the awareness that this is what goes on here. We do make specialty coffee, we get the best beans from the best farms. Then we lovingly roast it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
