About this coffee

Producer Girma Tamiru Farm/Mill Girma Tamiru washing station Location Idido, Yirgacheffe Altitude 2,170 masl Process Washed Cultivar Ethiopian Landraces Harvest November 2025 to January 2026 Expect notes of Mandarin, Lemon, Earl GreyGirma Tamiru's name loosely means Grace Miracle. He runs his own washing station in Yirgacheffe at 2,170 metres, taking cherry from smallholders who farm around two and a half hectares apiece, and he controls the lot from cherry selection through to export, which is still rare in Ethiopia. More than a hundred people work the site through harvest. Only the ripest cherries get through, floated first to drop the underweights. Mandarin and lemon up front, with Earl Grey sitting behind them.

Producer Numerous female coffee producers from Kecho Anderacha Farm/Mill Telila Washing Station Location Kecho Anderacha, Gera district Altitude 2,000 masl Process Honey Cultivar Ethiopian Heirloom Harvest Late 2025 Expect notes of Lemon, Apricot, Honeycomb In the hills around Agaro, in Ethiopia's Jimma zone, a group of female coffee producers tend smallholdings often no bigger than an English garden. Their cherries travel a short distance to the Telila washing station at Kecho Anderacha, run by Mike Mamo of Addis Exporters. Here, this honey-processed lot is pulped, fermented overnight, and dried on raised tables for around eighteen days. Leaving a little of the cherry's mucilage on the bean builds a rounder body and a deeper sweetness than a fully washed Ethiopian usually offers, while keeping the bright fruit character intact. The cup is layered and sweet: ripe apricot, lemon, a honeycomb finish.

Producer COCAFELOL Co-operative (300+ smallholders) Farm/Mill Multiple smallholder farms Location Ocotepeque, Honduras Altitude 1,200 - 1,900 masl Process Washed, Mountain Water Cultivar Bourbon, Typica Harvest 2026 Expect notes of Dark Chocolate, Toffee, Brazil Nut Organic Decaf is our go-to decaf, decaffeinated without chemicals so you keep the full flavour of the coffee and lose only the caffeine. We roast it medium-light to stay clean and sweet. This release comes from COCAFELOL, a cooperative of around 300 smallholder farmers in Ocotepeque, in the mountains of western Honduras where the country meets Guatemala and El Salvador, grown between 1,200 and 1,900 metres and certified Organic and Fairtrade. A rich, nutty cup: dark chocolate, toffee and a long Brazil nut finish. The Fairtrade premium paid on COCAFELOL's coffee has built something practical: a small business that turns coffee husks and natural fungi into fertiliser, given to member farms free of charge. Decaffeination happens at Descamex in Veracruz, Mexico, where the green coffee is soaked in water from the glaciers of Pico de Orizaba, Mexico's highest mountain. The water draws out the caffeine along with the flavour, then is filtered to remove the caffeine and returned to the beans, so they take back everything that makes them taste of Honduras. Enough body for a flat white, enough sweetness to drink black after dinner.
