SWEET & FRUITY

Origin: Ethiopia
Region: Gedeb, Yirgacheffe
Producer: EDN Banko Chelchele
Altitude: 1900 - 2300 masl
Variety: Heirloom
Process: Super Natural
Roast level: Espresso - Medium roast
SCA Score: 87.75 p.

This coffee comes from the village of Banko Chelchele in Gedeb, Southern Ethiopia, within the renowned Yirgacheffe coffee-growing region. It is exported by EDN, an Ethiopian specialty coffee company recognized for its close partnerships with smallholder farmers and its commitment to producing high-quality, fully traceable coffees. Farming in the area is deeply rooted in local knowledge, family traditions, and community-based harvesting practices.

The Chelchele washing station has developed a "Super Natural Process" that emphasizes the best qualities of naturally processed Ethiopian coffee. During the harvest season, coffee cherries are hand-picked with careful attention to ripeness and quality. Only carefully selected cherries are placed in sealed, oxygen-free tanks, where they undergo controlled fermentation for approximately 36 to 48 hours. Then coffee cherries are slowly dried for around 27 to 30 days. This method is designed to extend the drying process, allowing gradual chemical changes to occur within the beans before milling and preparation for export.

LIGHT & JUICY

Origin: Ethiopia 
Region: Gedeb, Chelbesa
Producer: Ephtah Specialty Coffee
Altitude: 2200 masl.
Variety: Heirloom
Process: Washed
Roast level: Light roast
CVA Score: 86.25 p.

Ephtah Specialty Coffee builds sustainable supply chains across Ethiopia, focusing on quality, long-term partnerships, and supporting producer communities. The company also highlights the important role of women in coffee production and local economic development.

This lot comes from Chelbesa in the Gedeb woreda and was processed at an Ephtah-operated washing station. Grown under shade alongside enset (false banana), the coffee is produced by smallholder farmers cultivating local heirloom varieties and harvested from December to January.

At Chelbesa, the best cherries are selected and floated before processing. For this lot, the coffee is pulped and then fermented in tanks without water. After fermentation, the coffee is dried on raised beds for around 10 to 15 days.  

SWEET & FRUITY

Origin: Costa Rica
Region: Central Valley
Producer: Alberto & Diego Guardia
Altitude: 1400 masl.
Variety: Obata
Process: Natural
Roast level: Light roast
CVA Score: 87.5 pts

Hacienda Sonora is located at the foot of Poas Volcano in Carrillo, Alajuela. The farm covers approximately 100 hectares, including 65 hectares of shaded coffee and 35 hectares of wild forest reserve. Coffee is grown here surrounded by diverse trees and other vegetation, providing excellent conditions for production and improving the chemistry of the already rich volcanic soil. 
Alberto Guardia is the fourth generation of coffee producers in his family. In 1999, during a period of historically low coffee prices, Alberto invested in a mill for the estate and became a pioneer in alternative processing methods in the area, implementing Honey and Natural processing to his production. Hacienda Sonora has now been in the family for more than a century. Alberto’s son Diego joined the operation as co-manager in 2011 and now represents the fifth generation of coffee producers in the Guardia family.

Today, all coffee from Sonora is processed using Honey or Natural methods to develop distinct sweetness and enhanced fruit notes. This lot of Obata underwent Natural processing and was dried on large black sheets made of braided plastic threads, known as zaran.
The harvested cherries are first floated in fresh spring water to remove defects and field impurities, then spread in thin layers on the zaran and dried in direct sunlight. At the end of each day, the sheets are rolled up with a tractor and stacked overnight. Drying takes around two weeks, until the coffee reaches 14% humidity. The coffee is then stored in Sonora’s warehouse to rest. Shortly before milling, the drying process is completed in mechanical dryers known as “guardiolas.”

SWEET & FRUITY

Origin: Colombia
Region: Villamaria, Caldas
Producer: Local Smallholders
Altitude: 1800 masl.
Variety: Pink Bourbon
Process: Anoxic Natural
Roast level: Filter
CVA Score: 88.75 pts

Villamaria is a historic Colombian municipality nestled in the high-altitude mountains, located right next to the city of Manizales. As a vital part of the UNESCO-recognized Coffee Cultural Landscape, this vibrant town is famous for its deeply rooted farming heritage and generational coffee traditions. The distinct volcanic terroir, combined with a cool mountain climate, provides the ultimate microclimate for cultivating complex, world-class specialty coffees.

The anoxic process uses cool temperatures by utilising cold water poured above plastic sheeting, creating a vacuum seal above the coffee cherries. Cold water reduces the fermentation temperature, and allows the coffee to sit in cherry for an extended period, with no interaction from additional oxygen.

The temperature remains stable and low because the surface water acts as a heat exchanger, with the warmth evaporating off of the top. Then coffee is dried for up to 20 days on raised beds in cherry, pulped and prepared for export.
