Abstract

Hover over each feature to learn more.

Gogogu, a remote coffee-growing region in Ethiopia's Oromia, is known for its dedicated farmers who maintain ancestral practices despite challenging conditions, producing exceptional quality coffee recognized worldwide. The resultant cup produced is laden with stone fruit sweetness and a subtle spice indicative of the mixed heirloom varieties Ethiopian coffee is known for.

Origin

Ethiopia

Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, has a rich history dating back to the 9th century. From its origins in Kaffa, coffee spread to the Arabian Peninsula and Europe, becoming a cultural mainstay. Ethiopia remains a top coffee producer, known for its diverse terroirs and quality. We partner with both large and small-scale producers, offering a range of profiles from classic washed to fruit-forward anaerobic naturals. Visiting Ethiopia for over a decade, we continue to be amazed by its beauty.

Elevation

1900 MASL

Elevation influences coffee cultivation, impacting flavor and quality. Higher elevations offer cooler temperatures, slowing the growth of coffee cherries, allowing more time for complex sugar and flavor development. This results in coffee with brighter acidity and a nuanced flavor profile. Additionally, cooler conditions at high altitudes reduce pests and diseases, making these coffees highly prized for their superior quality and distinct taste.

Variety

Landrace

This catch-all term has come to mean more or less 'indigenous.' Often we label coffees from Ethiopia as landrace when the breakdown of varieties is not available, or when they read longer than the family trees of the Silmarillion. (See, long.) Given the nature of the indigenous varieties being intercropped, it is a daunting and somewhat futile task of categorizing each. Hopefully history sees this statement as incorrect, given the fast paced nature of agricultural technology and genome sequencing.

Harvest

Ethiopia

The specialty harvest within East Africa takes place from early October through December and sometimes into January. As with all agriculture, the harvest times can vary due to factors like rainfall, average sunlight, and general temperature swings. We purchase from our relationships in East Africa once a year around January through February. The freshness season is extended well beyond most especially in Ethiopia. We source and land containers year round, thanks to the long voyage these coffees go on.

Process

Drying

Roasting

Loring S70 Peregrine

Prior to production, each roast goes through a rigorous dial-in process, where we fine-tune our temperature curves. We roast to tight tolerances, with no more than 1° deviation from target temperatures, ensuring quality and consistency in each batch.

Agtron

#75 Light

Light roast coffees are straightforward. If roasting is like looking at coffee through a window, light roasts would be the cleanest, clearest window of which you could view the entirety of your coffee. The vast majority of our single-origin coffees are in this category, and within this roast level, next to no roast characteristics are detected, making space for the full profile of variety, processing, and origin to shine.

Inventory

-517 LBS

Day after day, producers, roasters, and cuppers alike all spend countless hours of work to produce and roast small, traceable lots that we within specialty coffee call microlots. Ranging anywhere from a few lbs to many pallets, this nebulous category refers to a traceable single-origin, producer or even specific picking date. Is all that hard work keeping things separate worth it? That is up for you to decide...

Extraction

Filter, Espresso

Our Education Team, guided by a commitment to quality, uses a blend of sensory skills and technology to brew the best coffee in our cafes and brew guides. We strive for vibrant and mouthwatering acidity, complex and approachable flavor, persistent and clear sweetness, and structured and pleasant mouthfeel, ensuring you're getting the best coffee experience.

Each season, we portion out a significant amount of our Ethiopia position for early Red Fox selections. We have long worked with our friend Aleco at Red Fox for both Uraga and Agaro coffees. These stellar selections are usually the first fresh offerings to arrive from Ethiopia. This particular offering...
