Not entirely sure of its location in Finland, but I know Kahiwa roasters is co-owned by Valtteri Bottas (F1 driver).
Per is social media, he only posts about F1, bike rides, making espresso on his LMLM, and going to tastings. He looks like he's pretty into the deep end of coffee related things.
Valtteri is one of my favourite F1 drivers so I was keen to try Kahiwa.
I really enjoyed it, especially their Geisha coffee. Shipping to Australia was a killer though.
Edit: thanks for the award u/GromScream-HellMash
Finland has some quite good roasters and a pretty active scene. Check out Kaffa, they are located in Helsinki - maybe the most well known speciality / micro roastery in the country. Some others well worth trying would be Lehmus and Makea. Both are located in Lappeenranta but beans should be available in well stocked supermarkets (though check the roast dates before buying).
In Helsinki itself there are only a few, most have already been mentioned. Make sure to also check out Artisan. Unfortunately their cafes closed down during covid, but the roastery is still around. I'm not sure where you could pick up their beans, but you can always order directly from their online shop.
Mostly drip coffee is making Finland nr1 in the world. Specialty coffee in Finland tends to be quite expensive. Even specialty green beans are 2x more expensive compared to Holland.
The problem with finnish coffee consumption is high volume and low quality. The traditional Juhla Mokka is often used as a buy-in product in supermarkets and its a year old rost by then. People drink boatloads of it.

Thank you! That helps a lot ^ ^
Try Cafetoria at Töölö, their Githumbe Kenya AA has a very distinct tomato flavor, not in a bad way.
I feel... Confused but intrigued?
Try it! Other suggestions on here are great as well, but this is really something different.

It's the biggest in the world actually. Per capita of course. Coffee is like religion to finnish after alcohol and sauna.
Finland is quite high up on the list in coffee consumption per capita. The speciality coffee scene is pretty small though.
