POMA® Coffee Research
A coffee research and roasting company based in Copenhagen on a mission to refine coffee production techniques, address industry challenges, and bridge the gap between research and practical application. We collaborate closely with coffee farmers to implement and scale up our findings, aiming to make sustainable practices more accessible and effective.



Sequential Inoculation Experiment (Flora & Gesha)
We are excited to share the results of our latest experiment on applying biostimulants to increase the vitality of coffee trees – investigating the impact of biostimulants on coffee tree health, production and quality.
We have applied the same mixture of biostimulants products over a 3-year period on the same plot of H1, which is a highly productive and vigorous hybrid variety. The mixture contains humic acid, seaweed extracts and beneficial bacteria and fungi. All these components offer different benefits that in combination cover plant protection and physiological improvement.
In this box, you will find two versions of the H1 variety, a hybrid between the rust resistant T5296 and Rume Sudan, grown under identical conditions. One set represents the regular untreated plot, while the other comes from trees where the biostimulants mixture was applied. This application of the biostimulants enhances the photosynthesis activity, ultimately resulting in denser seeds which yields a higher production and better quality. The increase in quality will be experienced as a sweeter and more balanced coffee with more refined floral and fruity characteristics.
