Origin Story

Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee, and this bean honors that legendary heritage. The high-altitude growing conditions allow for slow maturation, concentrating the complex fruity and floral flavors that Ethiopian coffees are famous for. The natural processing method enhances the berry-forward character, creating a cup that's both bright and satisfying.

Brewing Recommendations

This coffee shines in pour-over, Chemex, or Aeropress methods that highlight its bright, fruity notes. Use water just off the boil (195-205°F) and enjoy the aromatic experience. Perfect for morning coffee lovers who appreciate complexity and brightness.
