We were searching for a classic, well-rounded coffee to use on iced coffee in our shops, and this coffee fit the bill beautifully. Nutty, silky, with natural sweetness and a dried raisin flavor profile. An excellent washed coffee from an up-and-coming producer, German Carranza.

From famed Wilder Lazo, this coffee underwent a double-fermentation, immersed in anaerobic mucilage, for 140 hours! After this, it was laid out to sun-dry with tangerine peels for added complexity. Super zesty and floral.
Fall
- Gedeo, Ethiopia
- Natural Anaerobic

A coffee from the Yismashewa Washing Station in Gedeo, Ethiopia. Reminiscent of the berry, fruity-forward natural Ethiopians of old, except this coffee was bursting with citrusy tangerine. We mostly brewed this coffee on drip in our shops.
