Every month we will bring you two brand new, truly exceptional coffees. Bringing together bright and vibrant coffees from producers that we work closely with, always in line with the changing seasons. This box is an opportunity for us to share our most exciting micro-lots, never repeating a coffee within a calendar year. We roast and ship these coffees at the beginning of each month so all new orders placed will be not be shipped immediately.
Box 021 will ship on Tuesday the 1st of October. In this month's box, we feature two exceptional coffees from Ethiopia, marking the first arrivals of this year’s harvest. The enclosed article explains our journey in sourcing coffee from Ethiopia over the years and how we are developing a model to source more directly in the future.

Biftu Gudina #7
This coffee comes from a single farm, at 1914 metres above sea level. Post harvest, the coffee is hand-sorted in floatation tanks then pulped, soaked and dried under the sun on raised beds for 7-11 days, before being meticulously hand sorted again. The coffee is carefully separated and coded to ensure complete traceability. The Biftu Gudina Cooperative own and operate 2 washing stations in the Barsoma kebele in the Jimma Zone. The coop is overseen by the Kata Muduga Farmers’ Union, and was founded in 2012 as part of an initiative by the NGO Technoserve.

Diima Benti Nenka #4
This coffee is our first fresh crop Ethiopian release for summer and it is stunning. Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee and is known for it’s incredible variety of flavours and profiles. This is a beautiful example of what this region has to offer. Benti Nenka is a district in southern Ethiopia within the Oromia regional state, and coffee growing is intrinsic to the culture here. Farmers are typically smallholders with plot sizes averaging no more than a few hectares at impressively high altitudes. The farms are intercropped with other fruits and vegetables to expand land use, improve soil quality, plant health and biodiversity.
