Special Edition - Gonna Be Gonna Be Golden

Jon Lane and his wife Lynsey transformed personal adversity into global triumph when they founded Haven Coffee Roasters in March 2021, just months after Jon was laid off from his position with a Colombian coffee company during the pandemic. This setback became the catalyst for something extraordinary—a roastery that would eventually claim the title of "Overall Champions in both the 2024 Golden Bean World Series (the World's Largest Coffee Roasting Competition) and the 2024 Golden Bean the Americas competition." Jon's journey reads like a coffee professional's fever dream: years spent traveling directly with producers across South America, mastering import/export logistics, and developing an unshakeable philosophy that "Good Coffee doesn't need cream and sugar, Bad coffee doesn't deserve it." Their approach epitomizes craft roasting at its most authentic—fresh small-batch roasting, house-made syrups, and an obsessive commitment to sourcing that reflects Jon's deep understanding of what makes exceptional coffee tick. With their award-winning "Ry-Jo Blend" now available and a flagship expansion underway in Auburndale, Haven represents Florida's ascension into serious specialty coffee territory, proving that world-class roasting can emerge from the most unexpected places when passion meets expertise.
