Kahls The & Kaffehandel Umeå: a nice place to have FIKA after a long ride

 

Umeå is quite a small city in a good meaning and I was looking for other coffee places rather than Costas of Sweden or Nya Konditroite.

A friend of mine who knows about this area told me there is a coffee shop inside the Umeå university hospital, so I just gave it a try to visit there.

Kahls The & Kaffehandel is the hidden cosy cafe in Umeå, Sweden

Actually, Umeå University Hospital is also close to the bus stop called "Universum" and it is a bus stop where many of the domestic long-distance & local buses stop in Umeå.

Universum bus stop is also close to the Umeå train station Umeå Ostra Station from which you can go to Stockholm.

From Universum bus stop to the central area in umeå "Vasaplan" is a 10 min bus ride, so basically university hospital is located in a fantastic location for travellers.

This time, I have bought light roasted blend coffee beans since I barely buy blended coffee beans so I simply wanted to try.

Iced Latte was an amazingly balanced cup

I had time to sit down and chill before writing this post so I ordered an Iced Oats Milk Latte.

Since I do not drink cow milk, it is such a great option to have that I can order something like soymilk or oats milk instead.

They also have a fika menu ( pastry + coffee combo ) so it will be nice to arrive at the Universum bus stop in the morning and have a first FIKA at this place.

If you are rushing to the next schedule, do not worry.

As you can see, there are some sandwiches that you can take away.

Beans: CUBIST MELLANROST BLEND

Every time I go to a new coffee shop, I DEFINITELY buy the coffee beans.

My favourite roasting level is "very light roast" and "medium light roast", so I asked the barista to show me the light roasted beans at the shop.

The coffee is of course UTZ certificated so all the transactions related to these coffee beans are sustainable.

Black is the colour that I liked the most and especially when the coffee package is black and stylish as this package, I just love it!!!

CUBIST Mellanrost is the blend of "Tvätta Brundi", "Colombia Huila", and "Uganda Elgon".

The taste is mild, soft, and fruity so I think many people would love this coffee regardless of their preference.

Since this coffee is a "Blended Coffee", the balance of the coffee is more focused in general rather than putting more focus on the unique taste as in single-origin coffee beans.

The package is also designed for storing the coffee beans for a while, so on the top part of the package, there is a ziplock type to close the box.

In case the coffee package does not have the ziplock closing part, you may want to have a glass-made air-tight container so that you can prevent the coffee from being acid-fast.
