Coffee Story
This year, our limited summer blend pairs an incredible Ethiopian coffee from the renowned Sidama Region with a natural Red and Yellow Catuai from the Mogiana region of Brazil.
Ethiopia Dale
The main component of this year's blend is a washed Ethiopian coffee with aromatic florals and crisp citrus, grown by local farmers who deliver to the Dara washing station located in Wensho Woreda of the greater Sidamo region. The harvest period is between December and January, with the flowering season starting in January. Dale washing station serves over 750 individual producers in this region. Parchment coffee is dried on African raised beds for up to 15 days. Throughout the drying period, parchment coffee is raked daily and covered with cloth during the hot afternoon.
Brazil Mogiana Gold
The Minor component of this limited blend is from the COCAPIL coffee cooperative in the renowned coffee-growing region of Mogiana, Brazil, with approximately 1,300 award-winning producing members and farms scattered throughout the beautiful microregions of São Paulo and Minas Gerais. It was founded in 2001 by Laércio França Faleiros and twelve other regional producers to enable small and medium-sized farmers to export Brazil's finest coffee to the international market. With a long history in family coffee production focused on the internal Brazilian market, COPACIL and its contributing members have pivoted their focus from quantity to quality, aiming to add value for farmers. This specific lot is a blend of naturally processed red and yellow Catucai.
