What You're Drinking
Ethiopian coffees are known for expressive fruit and floral characteristics. Most of ours comes from the Sidama region, at 2,000–2,200m — some of the highest coffee-growing land in the world. Ethiopia is coffee's birthplace, and it shows: heirloom varietals found nowhere else, often naturally (sun-dried) processed, producing bold berry and floral notes with a delicate, tea-like body.

you enjoy lighter, brighter coffee, drink your coffee black, or you're curious what the 'specialty coffee' fuss is really about.
Try Brewing It
Pour over or drip — both let the bright acidity and fruit character come through clearly. Avoid French press, which mutes some of the delicate notes.
Frequently Asked Questions
The right grind depends on how you brew your coffee. Here's a quick guide:
- Whole Bean — Grind fresh at home for maximum flavor and aroma. Best if you have a burr grinder.
- Drip / Auto-Drip — Medium grind. Works for standard drip coffee makers and pour-over methods.
- French Press / Cold Brew — Coarse grind. Larger particles prevent over-extraction in long-steep methods.
- Espresso — Fine grind. Needed for espresso machines and Moka pots where water passes through under pressure.
If you're unsure, Drip is the most versatile starting point and works well for most home setups. Not sure what you have? Feel free to reach out — we're happy to help you pick.
Because every bag is roasted and packed the same day it ships, you're starting with coffee at its absolute peak. To keep it that way:
- Store in the original bag — our bags have a one-way degassing valve and resealable zipper to lock in freshness.
- Keep it away from heat, light, and moisture — a pantry or cabinet is ideal. Avoid the fridge or freezer; repeated temperature changes cause condensation and stale faster.
- Use within 2–4 weeks of opening — whole beans stay fresh longer than pre-ground. For best flavor, grind just before brewing.
- For tea: store in a cool, dry place away from strong odors. Tea absorbs smells easily, so keep it sealed between uses.
