Producer Abebe Mitiku, outgrower partner of Dimtu Coffee Industry since 2015 Farm/Mill Abebe Mitiku's farm, 4 hectares. Processed by Dimtu Coffee Location Haro Sorsa village, Hambela Wamena, East Guji, Oromia Region, Ethiopia Altitude 2,100 - 2,300 masl Process Honey Cultivar Ethiopian Heirloom Harvest November - December Expect notes of Jasmine, Blueberry, Toffee Abebe Mitiku farms four hectares at Haro Sorsa, in the Hambela Wamena district of East Guji, and has supplied red cherry to Dimtu Coffee since 2015. His heirloom trees sit between 2,100 and 2,300 metres on rich volcanic soil. At that altitude the cherry matures slowly, developing the delicate florals and ripe fruit for which Ethiopia is celebrated. Selectively picked, then dried with the mucilage intact, a honey process that layers additional sweetness over that foundation. Certified organic and Rainforest Alliance. Jasmine and blueberry over a soft toffee sweetness, bright and delicate.

Producer Eddy Macdonald Lopez Lopez Farm/Mill Finca Las Gardenias Location Pianche, Malacatancito, Huehuetenango, Guatemala Altitude 1,900 masl Process Natural Cultivar Bourbon Harvest March 2026 Expect notes of Strawberry, Raspberry, Red Grape Finca Las Gardenias sits high in the mountains of Huehuetenango, Guatemala, at 1,900 metres above sea level. The 15.3-hectare farm is run by Eddy Macdonald Lopez Lopez, and preserving the natural environment is central to how he operates. Native trees, spring-water sources and native wildlife, including the Quetzal that is Guatemala's national bird, all share the land with the coffee. The estate is Rainforest Alliance certified. Eddy's Bourbon cherries are harvested at peak maturity and dried whole cherry in two stages: five days on the patio under managed sun, then a further seventeen days on African-style raised beds, hand-turned every hour. The natural processing draws out the variety's deepest fruit character, producing a cup that punches well above the classical Guatemalan profile: Strawberry, raspberry and red grape, layered and bright.

A rare Colombian Mokka from Felipe Arcila's Jardines del Encanto, exclusively for Kiss the Hippo. Notes of raspberry, cacao and cinnamon. Just 100 packs, 48 hour slow natural.

Producer Matías Monge Farm/Mill Hacienda San Isidro Labrador Location Copey, Dota, Costa Rica Altitude 1,950 masl Process Red Honey Cultivar Gesha Harvest April 2026 Expect notes of Maple Syrup, Dried Mango, Hops Hacienda San Isidro Labrador returns from Matías Monge, high in the microclimate of Copey, Dota, at 1,950 metres. The Monge family have a long record at the top of Costa Rican coffee, and Matías took a Top 3 place at Cup of Excellence with his Gesha. This lot is processed as a red honey, dried with a good share of the sticky mucilage still on the seed, which builds sweetness and weight without losing the variety's clarity. Expect maple syrup, dried mango and a curious hop-like lift on the finish.
