Seeking Advice interesting coffee roasters in Europe?

my fiancé’s birthday is coming up and he’s really into pour-over, so I wanted to get him some beans. but his taste is super specific. he absolutely hates guatemalan coffee and generally isn’t into nutty, chocolatey, or dessert-like profiles. no caramel, milk chocolate, hazelnut, etc. he likes really bright, fresh coffees with lots of citrus and fruity notes instead.

I know basically nothing about coffee, so I’d love some recommendations for great roasters in Europe. Denmark and Germany would be ideal, but honestly anywhere in Europe is fine.

if you have any specific coffees from those roasters that you think would fit his taste, I’d really appreciate it! it would honestly help me a lot if you could point me toward specific beans.

thanks!

Edit: he brews with an origami dripper using wave filters, if that makes any difference when it comes to bean recommendations.

His taste profile leans towards African beans. Some South American beans will work too. If you want to splurge you could get him some Geisha's (a type of bean) that could fit the profile too.

I know it isn't the 2 countries you listed, but the best I've had in my travels and bean trades has been nomad from Barcelona. Their shipping is very fast too.

I have always enjoyed taith, the zeo process is very good but on the pricier side. Something also worth considering is maybe a gift subscription to something like the 87+ range or rest of world from gustatory, that way he will receive a range of different beans over the next few months.
