About LA SOSTA Specialty Coffee
LA SOSTA Specialty Coffee is an independent artisan roastery in Impruneta, just outside Florence, founded by Simone Guidi in 2016. Its approach is deliberately focused: specialty coffee, traceable micro-lots and roasting designed to let the character of each coffee come through rather than dominate it. La Sosta works with coffees selected at origin, with attention to variety, processing, harvest and producer relationships.
The roastery also opens its doors for cupping sessions, tastings and coffee education, making it more than a place to buy freshly roasted beans. For specialty coffee drinkers visiting Florence, LA SOSTA is worth the short trip for a closer look at how sourcing, roasting and sensory evaluation shape the final cup.
