While revered for genetic variety, history, and quality, Ethiopian coffee has traditionally been difficult to source and buy. In 2018, that became a little easier when the Ethiopian Coffee Exchange (ECX) restored traceability information for coffees traded through their system and gave licensed exporters freedom to begin selling outside of the ECX. For this coffee, we worked with one of the exporters, SNAP, who seized the opportunity presented by these changes. SNAP partners with washing stations in different regions of Ethiopia. They started working their first site in Worka Chelbesa in 2017 and have since become a staple on many coffee menus.  

We're excited to add another stellar Ethiopia offering to our menu this season. Soaring high elevations, careful processing, and ideal growing conditions contribute to this coffee's fruity and complex profile. Get dialed into juicy tropical fruit and floral bergamot by starting with a 1:16.5 brew ratio, filtered water at 208-210℉, a medium-coarse grind, and a 3-3.5-minute brew cycle.
