About
Hi, I’m Aya, and my passion is coffee. I’m the founder.
Originally from Japan, I moved to Norway with my husband in 2013. That’s when I discovered my love for coffee and developed a deep interest in roasting.
I started as a barista at a café in Oslo in 2014, began roasting in 2018, and became the head roaster in 2019. I stayed in that role until 2023, when my son was born, and decided my next goal would be to pursue my dream of starting my own roastery. After months of hard work, I officially launched Hibi Kaffe in November 2024.
"Hibi" means "daily" in Japanese — a reminder to better appreciate coffee in your everyday moments.
What started as a one-person roastery has grown into a small, dedicated team. We keep things small on purpose, so we can pay attention to every detail.
When you buy coffee and services from Hibi Kaffe, you support a small, local business dedicated to ethically sourced, high-quality beans. Every order helps us grow, one step at a time.
Thank you for being part of this journey!
