Ethiopia
Ethiopia is commonly known as the birthplace of coffee, and when villagers still collect wild beans from uncultivated coffee forests to this day, it is hard to refute.
Our green coffee beans from Ethiopia bring a clean, bright, sweet, and diverse flavor dependent on the roast. These coffees often have a higher acidity, a light to medium body, and sophisticated flavor notes. Known for their syrupy, velvet mouthfeel, Ethiopian coffees often feature citrus and floral flavors as well as peach, strawberry, or bakers chocolate.

Ethiopian Guji Natural Gr. 1 – Hambela
A wonderful cup at lighter roast points. A sweet, delicate, fruity and floral cup. Medium to low acidity, it will have a slight citric tone while very fresh. First note to hit the tongue will be the sweet red fruit note that will fade into a little nutty/chocolate darker note. Unlike its Yirgacheffe cousins, there is not nearly as much herbal/tea like darker note. At lighter roasts it’s distinctly floral, Ethiopians heirloom strains in action, pronounces lime and lemon-zest acidity with a little sweet red fruit tone, strawberry like. At medium roasts it turns smooth and balanced, with a silky body (between light and medium) and pronounced chocolate like backbone that supports the hints of fruitiness well. Pushed darker it gains punch and shifts toward dark/baker’s chocolate and cocoa, while maintaining a medium-soft body. Overall: floral-leaning, sweet, and very clean.

Ethiopian Guji Natural Org. Gr. 1 – Kayon Mountain Shakiso
Kayon Mountain has become a tradition around here, marks one of our favorite times of the year, new Ethiopian season! Beautiful coffee and screen.
Clean, bright, sweet with a very diverse flavor set. Stone and darker fruit, citrus & floral, and spiced chocolate tones are the main flavors one can see in this cup, either accentuated or muted depending on roast level. Nice jammy body will be seen in the medium to borderline dark roast mark. Very dependent on roast – lighter roasting gives much more of the citrus, red-fruit with just a hint of a spicy chocolaty factor, a much dryer finish. Darker roasts produce much more of a bakers chocolate cup with a hint of a strawberry like fruit note and good sweetness, far less acidic. A very enjoyable cup from light to dark.

Ethiopian Sidama Honey Gr. 1 – Qunqana Station
Black Friday Sale!
Crisp, clean, sweet and very highly rated, a fun treat for any Ethiopian fan. Light roasting is recommended to see the cup shine but hard to find a bad roast point. Lighter roasts are where you will see the cleanliness of the cup, balanced tones with good mouthfeel and hardly a hint of anything grassy or vegetal. It will have some decent brightness, lemony with just a pinch of peachy like fruitiness. The aromatics are unique being overly floral with some classic Ethiopian hints of lavender/jasmine. The lighter tones pull some balance with the classic tea (herbal/spice) like darker tones. Medium roasts really mellow out the acidity and reduce the citric & floral tastes, creates a bit more body and a much more recognizable chocolaty factor. A very smooth, balanced and rich cup with exotic highlights. Darker roasts are fuller bodied and dark toned: roasty, bakers chocolate with some unique spice and rich aromatics.Price:Price: Original price was: $11.49.$9.25Current price is: $9.25.$11.49/lb$9.25/lb -

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Org. Natural Gr. 1 – Konga – Takele Mammo Denbi
A great cup from city+ to full city roasts. Light medium to dark medium some would say. Although a natural, this is not a super fruity coffee, will show hints at lighter roasts along with some citric. These beans are more about the complex chocolate and spice notes, the sweet fruit highlights are just a little perk and balance the cup nicely. At lighter roasts it’s distinctly floral, Ethiopians heirloom strains in action, pronounces lime and lemon-zest acidity with a little sweet red fruit tone, strawberry like. These lighter tones comingle with a rustic chocolate and spice, slightly herbaceous at lighter roasts. At medium roasts it turns smooth and balanced, with a silky body (between light and medium) and a rustic chocolate like backbone that supports the hints of fruitiness well. Pushed darker it gains punch and shifts toward dark/baker’s chocolate and cocoa, while maintaining a medium-soft body. Overall: floral-leaning, sweet, and very clean.

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Org. Washed Gr. 1 – Hafursa Cooperative
Best at the light to medium roast levels. Very crisp, clean and exotic. Great aromatics filled with jasmine spice and soft fruit. Lighter roasts are filled with new crop acidity and floral notes, mostly citric but a little soft fruit tone can be found. The balance of the cup comes from a semi-tea-like chocolate factor. I tend to think of it as chocolate spice notes but many tongues can pick up a little black tea note. Medium roasts still have a bit of citric acidic, build a good body and bring forth more of the chocolate spice note, reducing the acidity slightly so even more of the exotic tones of this cup can be found. Darker roasts are always tasty for those who like fuller roasts. This is how they would traditionally serve these beans in Ethiopia. Almost a shame, for it loses the cool spice and lighter note balance, but will still make for a good exotic smoky and chocolaty cup.

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Washed Gr. 2 – Banko Chelchele
Good from light to dark but we thought best at a strong medium to dark roast. A good bean to go after a rich and semi-exotic chocolate tone with some wonderful aromatics and a bit of spice. Light roasts are more citric and floral with wonderful aromatics and a sweet edged, a bit punchy in the citric department and contrasts with a bit of nutty/herbal/grassy undertones. Works well but needs a much longer setup time bring out smooth and clean tastes, sharp and grassy/herbal if drank too soon. Medium roasts will bring some lovely balance to the cup and provides a clean tasting brew without waiting a week to drink it. One starts seeing the chocolate aspect but will still pull some balance with the citric and floral. Less aromatic than the light roasts, but you can still tell you have a nice Ethiopian with one sniff. Darker roasts touching or into second crack are real robust, strong and semi-sweet, more bakers-chocolate like with tea like spice in the aftertaste.
