But beyond flavour, what truly won us over was everything behind it. At CC\/magazine<\/em>, we love getting to know the stories that support and shape the projects we admire. That is why we recently spoke with\u00a0Johan Damgaard<\/em>, co-founder of Lykke<\/em>, about the origins of the brand, what it means to be an entrepreneur today, the complexities of founding a coffee company from scratch and, above all, the real purpose behind every decision.<\/p>\n

Reading this interview makes one thing clear: another way of doing business is not only possible, but necessary. It shows that it is possible to think beyond oneself, beyond immediate profit or growth for growth\u2019s sake. That work \u2014 when done with coherence, respect and joy \u2014 can have a positive impact on both people and the planet. Lykke<\/em> does not speak about happiness as an empty slogan; it practices it from the very beginning: from the land, from human relationships, and from an honest way of understanding design, production and consumption.<\/p>\n

Perhaps that is the key. A reminder that enjoying a good cup of coffee can also be a conscious act. One that feels good. And that, ultimately, does good.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start at the beginning: How and when was Lykke founded, and who are the people behind this visionary coffee project?<\/h6>\n

Lykke<\/em> was founded in January 2020. We started right in time for COVID-19. :) We had established two of our farm projects in El Salvador and Peru one year earlier, but it wasn\u2019t the start of Lykke<\/em>. It was more an idea of starting to produce coffee with some farmer friends.<\/p>\n

Lars Pilengrim<\/em>, one of the founders, called me and asked if I wanted to start growing coffee with the farmers, since it was the only thing we hadn\u2019t done within coffee.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My background was coffee, founding another roastery with some other friends called Johan & Nystr\u00f6m<\/em> back in 2004.<\/p>\n

Lars<\/em> was, back then, the sourcing guy, travelling all over the world buying coffee for us, then he became a good friende and also one of the partners. But this time we wanted to do it a bit differently.<\/p>\n

I have had other projects after my former roastery in other sustainable brands and ideas, but I decided to return to coffee. The idea and the projects sounded too much fun.<\/p>\n

Lars<\/em>\u2019 wife Carolina<\/em> also jumped on the train as responsible for teas, and then we needed some wise guys, so Johan Wellander<\/em>, my former board member and friend, also jumped on the project. And except that some of the farmers are partners today, a lot of people on the staff were invited to become partners. It gives us a lot of energy and power running our company and coffee project when everyone is working for themselves.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the farmers are partners today, a lot of people on the staff were invited to become partners.\u201d<\/h2>\n
Your name, Lykke, means \u201chappiness\u201d in Swedish \u2014 how did you come up with it, and what does it represent in the context of your brand philosophy?<\/h6>\n

We sat down and asked ourselves, coming from other bigger companies, what we missed in our lives. Joy. And then we wanted a name with double consonants. Lykke<\/em> is perfect.<\/p>\n

I had just named my fourth daughter Lykke<\/em> and was already planning back then to use it somehow in a business. Not for the daughter thing \u2014 it is a great short name that gives a good feeling in the Nordics.<\/p>\n

We added the rainbow and all the colours are our colours. Not only one colour, like many other brands do.<\/p>\n

What was the original spark or motivation behind creating a coffee company that owns its own farms and closes the gap between origin, roasting, and storytelling?<\/h6>\n

The plan was first to run farms and sell green beans together with the farmers and divide some of the profits. Today, the value of a cup of coffee is created where it\u2019s served. We wanted a more circular model and to share the profits with the farmers. Second, we want to control and secure how our coffee is produced.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The most common thing is that you buy coffee as a specialty roaster from a middleman; sometimes you can buy directly from the farmer if you have really great volumes.<\/p>\n

By 2050, the climate will have destroyed a lot of coffee volumes in the world \u2014 but not if we produce at high altitude, let the coffee grow within nature (agroforestry), try to avoid monocultures, yes, regenerative farming, and take care of everything that is grown on the farm instead of buying pesticides and fertilizers.<\/p>\n

Like we all produced stuff back in the day. So, in short: to secure sustainable farming and share the profits with our partners \u2014 the farmers, who are also partners in our Swedish company. Equalize.<\/p>\n

Launching a purpose-driven company is never easy. What were the biggest challenges you faced when starting Lykke, and how did you overcome them?<\/h6>\n

We actually don\u2019t know how it is to run Lykke<\/em> in good times. We have been through COVID, then inflation and increased container costs when e-commerce exploded, then some war and increased costs for energy, then some Trump and tariffs\u2026 hahaha.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hopefully 2026 will be the year when things turn. But who said it should be easy to run a company?<\/p>\n

The good thing is that we have a lot of customers and people supporting the good cause by buying our coffee and tea. :)<\/p>\n

You mention working directly in origin across countries like Brazil, Peru, El Salvador, and now Uganda. How do you select the regions and communities you collaborate with?<\/h6>\n

First, we tried to look for high-altitude locations, and then origins where we knew people. Then maybe not the obvious origins like Ethiopia, Kenya and Brazil (we ended up in Brazil anyway, since the coffees are great).<\/p>\n

For example, in Uganda, you have the same terroir as in Kenya, with volcanic soils and high altitude, but Uganda is historically not the best coffee origin like its neighbour Kenya. But today we produce amazing coffees in Uganda. In each origin and farm, we are very close to the local communities.<\/p>\n

Almost all roasters in the world buy different and new coffees depending on price, etc. But we have more than financial and sustainable interests in our farms and will work with and help them for as long as Lykke<\/em> is running. It\u2019s the most sustainable way, and our farmers are safe investing in the farms, knowing that our volumes are increasing every year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Could you tell us more about your farms \u2014 where they are located, how they operate, and how they contribute to your mission of sustainability and fairness?<\/h6>\n

The short version: I\u2019m enclosing our impact report, where you can read all about our different projects.<\/p>\n

We have different projects in four or five different origins:<\/p>\n

1) One of the origins is in Panama, La Mula<\/em>, where we have a piece of land that is not active at all due to COVID. The trees, mostly Geisha varieties, are growing wild since we haven\u2019t had the time or focus yet to decide what to do.<\/p>\n

2) El Salvador, El Pital<\/em> \u2014 our first piece of land we invested in \u2014 is producing coffee. Some of it comes from 100-year-old trees that have started to produce coffee again after some nurture. But we also buy cherries from our neighbours in the district, helping them grow coffee the right way, which gives them a higher yield and therefore a higher price for their work.<\/p>\n

3) Brazil, Capara\u00f3<\/em>, where we have invested in a bus driving around and educating farmers to grow better coffee for the same reasons as above. We call it Lado a Lado<\/em>, hand in hand with the farmers. We are not only growing and producing; we are also the channel out to the market, so we can guarantee that the different projects we are involved in also have a demand for coffee to buy and sell.<\/p>\n

4) Peru, Agua de Nieve<\/em>, a piece of land up on the slopes of the Andes where we are planning to grow great coffees. We work closely with the farmers here and the community, also buying cherries from the neighbours to fill the quota since we don\u2019t yet have enough coffee ourselves. But we will always grow together.<\/p>\n

5) Uganda, Mount Rwenzori Mountains<\/em> \u2014 our latest project and probably the largest, where we do everything from scouting, planning coffees to processing them at the processing station we built, where we can also process coffees from our neighbours.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very close to the local communities.\u201d<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of our financers in Uganda, We Effect<\/em>, is one of the Swedish international aid-funded organizations active in this area. Instead of aid, we are loaning funds that will be repaid. It\u2019s a new kind of model that everyone likes. Especially the Swedish government.<\/p>\n

How would you describe the ‘Scandinavian mindset’ behind Lykke \u2014 especially in terms of minimalism, transparency, and respect for people and nature?<\/h6>\n

Even if we have a minimalistic view in Scandinavia, I think we have tried to be a bit more disruptive at Lykke<\/em>. In all decisions, we try to find new ways or models. It becomes more interesting then.<\/p>\n

The respect for nature and people is something you get from birth in Sweden. We have things like the \u201callemansr\u00e4tt\u201d<\/em> (the all men\u2019s right). You\u2019re free to go almost everywhere in nature as long as you leave it as it was. We are fostered to be nice to people, and I think that Swedish morale in general is quite easy to find everywhere.<\/p>\n

The leaders of Lykke<\/em> just want people to be happy at work. We spend too much time at work to be unhappy. We lead in a pragmatic way: find the best people we can find and then let them do their job. We only correct if it\u2019s going sideways.<\/p>\n

If people are happy and feel productive and proud of their work, it will spill over, and we as the founders will also enjoy coming to work every day. :)<\/p>\n

Your branding is striking, playful, and full of personality. Who is the creative mind or team behind your illustrations and visual identity?<\/h6>\n

I\u2019m probably not the best CEO you can find, but my brain never stops thinking about beautiful things I see \u2014 design, interiors, colours, music, ideas, etc. \u2014 and how we can transform them into products that give people a craving. So I guess I\u2019m a good marketing, creative CEO.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After we get an idea for a new product or packaging, I place those ideas with people I\u2019ve known for many years: art directors, different illustrators, etc. Then we work together towards the design. I\u2019m still the one doing all the copywriting and like relaxed, witty but interesting copy.<\/p>\n

The design rule I set six years ago is that we don\u2019t have any rules. And I\u2019ve always asked creative people around me if this is the most creative thing they want to do. I mean, we don\u2019t have any rules. And we always end up with something new and special. It\u2019s seldom the same, and in some strange way it has become the Lykke way in the end after all.<\/p>\n

So there are always a lot of people involved, but as someone said: design is not a democracy, and five people can\u00b4t decide the flavour of a pizza. So even if I listen around and gather all creative ideas, it\u2019s me who makes the final decision in the end.<\/p>\n

And I can be irritatingly picky when it comes to PMS codes, small words or details until I\u2019m happy. :)<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just want people to be happy at work. We spend too much time at work to be unhappy.\u201d<\/h2>\n

The Lykke Can is one of your most unique packaging formats \u2014 a monthly experience with a strong story behind each edition. How did the idea of coffee in a can come about?<\/h6>\n

My friend and partner Lars<\/em> is a beer nerd like me \u2014 but worse. He was experimenting with a can machine for beer and then came up with the idea of packing coffee in a can. It\u2019s dark, a totally closed environment, and probably the most sustainable material, as 80% of all aluminium in the world is still recycled in an everlasting loop.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a nerdy packaging with nerdy coffee in it. In the cans, we are allowed to do whatever small project or idea coming from the farms. It can be small lots, new types of varieties, differently processed, etc.<\/p>\n

And as a subscriber and member of the Lykke Coffee Club<\/em>, you will be invited into a more nerdy Lykke<\/em> world, getting one new can each month before everyone else.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re curious about the names of your coffees \u2014 from Happiness to BAM BAM, Ugly Cute or Sn\u00f6vatten. Can you share the stories or inspirations behind some of them?<\/h6>\n

It actually just falls over us \u2014 or me. Bam Bam<\/em> was an illustration from a Swedish artist named Andreas Samuelsson<\/em>. We loved the colour combination and the name and asked if we could use it.<\/p>\n

Happiness<\/em> was an easy choice, placing a pink bag with a rainbow. But the secret story was that it was supposed to be named 16:20. We thought it was too much. :) The farm in Peru is called Agua de Nieve \u2014 Snow Water<\/em>, or Sn\u00f6vatten in Swedish. OJ<\/em> is \u201chello\u201d<\/em> in Brazil for the Brazilian coffee; in Sweden, OJ<\/em> is like \u201coops\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And so on. Big Monday<\/em> is a great surfing wave outside the coast of El Salvador, and much easier to remember than El Salvador, El Pital. UFO<\/em> came after the illustration of a UFO<\/em>, and we decided to name the coffee \u201cThe Ugandan Farming Odyssey\u201d<\/em>. Ugly Cute<\/em> \u2014 not the best-looking beans, but we take care of them all and they taste great.<\/p>\n

Could you walk us through how you develop each product \u2014 from naming and design to bean selection and roast profile?<\/h6>\n

First, there is a need or an idea for a new product. Then I try to find a working name. Sometimes I think of a design or a design idea at an early stage. The name doesn\u2019t always have to describe the product: it can describe the feeling I want the customers or receivers to find. What feeling should the product bring?<\/p>\n

After the idea and pitch, our Art Director Karin Ahlgren<\/em> and the designer Kelly Lansman<\/em> come up with a design idea based on the pitch. Sometimes we try photography; sometimes we do digital designs. Like I said, the feeling right there and then decides.<\/p>\n

The last thing is to put words on the products. For example, Darkness<\/em>. We needed a darker roasted blend for our customers. What\u2019s the feeling of darkness? We came up with the idea that darkness is when you put a box over your head, together with the illustrator Andreas Samuelsson<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Karin <\/em>and Kelly<\/em> gave us some colour suggestions, and we picked the one we didn\u2019t have: orange. Orange works well with the contrast colour, blue. And none of us actually likes dark roasted coffee, so I wrote a text about people enjoying darkness, but that the light is waiting for them when they decide to come out. So I was actually mocking people who like darker roasted coffee \u2014 but in a kind way, hoping they might want to try lighter coffees in the future.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of our best-selling coffees, so people don\u2019t seem to be willing to come out. :)<\/p>\n

What makes each blend unique in terms of bean variety, origin, and the flavour profile you aim to deliver \u2014 for example, what defines \u201cBig Monday\u201d versus \u201cOJ!\u201d or \u201cMalin of H\u00f6kar\u00e4ngen\u201d?<\/h6>\n

All the products fill a need for our customers, but we decided not to call them light roast, medium roast, or dark roast.<\/p>\n

All our 500 g bags are coffees to use in volume. Happiness<\/em> is the lightest one \u2014 fruity, light, nice. Then came Darkness<\/em>, which I mentioned. And then people started to ask for something in between: not too light and not too dark. So I came up with the idea to have something mainstream. There is a word in Swedish called \u201clagom\u201d<\/em> \u2014 not too little, not too much.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I wanted to use a photograph and found a photographer in Sweden who took the picture of the woman back in \u201983. The \u201980s are always fun with the hair, etc. But I changed the name to Malin, which is a common name for women born in the eighties. Ugly Cute<\/em> is darker than Darkness<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Then we have the origin coffees in 250 g bags. We haven\u2019t changed anything \u2014 they taste like they taste from each origin. We can\u2019t change the taste; we just try to bring out the best from each origin and bean. We only work with four origins, but they will most likely taste a bit different each year, depending on what\u2019s going on at the farms.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Beyond coffee, your tea line and upcoming Matcha reflect the same clean, quality-first approach. What guided your expansion into these products?<\/h6>\n

I come from a world where tea has always been a part of a coffee roaster\u2019s world. If you don\u2019t drink coffee, you drink tea. So we can\u2019t leave anyone out in the cold.<\/p>\n

I have sold teas in an earlier life, and Carolina Pilengrim<\/em> was in charge of all the 100 different teas we sold. But there were always a top eight teas selling best, so we decided to take those eight top-selling teas \u2014 their flavours and character \u2014 which ended up in Lykke<\/em>\u2019s tea assortment.<\/p>\n

We have both tea bags, which are more convenient, and loose teas. Matcha became a huge trend but wasn\u2019t that important in the beginning, so I gave the design project to some design students. But now I know better, and it\u2019s fun to create design.<\/p>\n

In April, we are launching our new matcha with a new design, sold in three different series, including a Hojicha (roasted green tea leaves, ground).<\/p>\n

\u201cIn April, we are launching our new matcha with a new design.\u201d<\/h2>\n

I can probably send pictures depending on when you will publish. I get the first samples of the products in two weeks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What is the concept behind your Edition Cans \u2014 how do you select the coffee, process, and origin each month?<\/h6>\n

See above, but in the cans we can mix and try all types of processing methods coming from the farms. All experiments regarding coffee will be in the cans.<\/p>\n

For example, we will launch a variety called Laurina<\/em> with naturally low caffeine that we have planted in El Salvador.<\/p>\n

We also have a great new product that is coffee \u2014 but not only coffee. You will love the design, but I can\u2019t tell you until we launch. Maybe once again, depending on when you publish.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk about \u201cHappiness\u201d, your everyday filter coffee \u2014 what makes it special in terms of blend, roast, and intended experience?<\/h6>\n

It\u2019s the everyday coffee. We have chosen more fruity beans from El Salvador, Uganda and Peru, and we roast it a bit brighter. You can drink it \u201cen masse\u201d because of its lighter character.<\/p>\n

All coffees in the 500 g bags are blends. It\u2019s our best-selling coffee and Lykke<\/em> in persona. It\u2019s hard to feel anything other than happiness when you see the bag. :)<\/p>\n

Do you have any upcoming launches or collaborations you can share with us? Any new farms, products, or experiences on the horizon for 2026\u20132027?<\/h6>\n

YES!!! We are launching a Lykke brew bag<\/em> in a happy design. We are launching a lot of new cans. There will be some more teas. The new matcha design just arrived. And then our revolutionary product \u2014 I will tell you more about that. Yes!<\/p>\n

We are also discussing some new projects at the farms: planting more coffee in Peru and finding a piece of land in Brazil as a base for our projects there. Let\u2019s see where we are when you publish, and I can probably add some more info or design.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you had to describe the Lykke experience in one sentence to someone who has never tried it \u2014 what would that sentence be?<\/h6>\n

We have tried to gather that feeling in one sentence. The best thing we came up with is: \u201cLykke is that nothing or no one should be harmed when we enjoy a cup of coffee. Lykke is also that feeling we all strive for \u2014 to feel good by doing good things.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

We recommend following them on Instagram and taking a look at their website, as they also offer teas and some really great merchandise.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

PROMOTION: We\u2019re also launching a special offer with them today! What\u2019s it about? The first 25 people to purchase The Unusual Barcelona<\/em> on citycurator.es will receive two sachets of speciality coffee as a gift. Be quick \u2014 they won\u2019t last long!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
