Ethiopia Single Origin Coffee

Bright, floral, and vibrant highland stone fruit balance.

Cultivated in the ancient birthland of coffee at extreme altitudes up to 2,050 metres, this single origin offers an unforgettable cup. Freshly roasted to order, it opens with delicate tea rose and apricot aromas before filling your palate with ripe stone fruit, citrus, and smooth milk chocolate notes. The washed method yields a clean, crisp finish with vibrant acidity that tastes so naturally sweet you will never feel the need to reach for sugar.

TASTING NOTES
MILK CHOCOLATE Creamy cocoa finish grounding a full, satisfying body
SWEET APRICOT Juicy stone fruit sweetness with delicate floral tea rose aroma
ZESTY ORANGE Vibrant citrus brightness with clean, refreshing acidity
