CUP CHARACTERISTICS: 

Created for spiced complexity and balanced acidity, this blend is the perfect way to wake up your mind and palette with its spiced cider sweetness and its syrupy poached pear acidity. 

HERE’S THE STORY: 

Lending itself to the spiced complexity and structured acid, the Hunda Oli washing station in Agaro Gera Ethiopia is world-renowned for its consistency of cup profile and the attention to quality they give to every harvest. Hunda Oli, which is literally translated to ‘The Greatest’ in the Oromo language, is a part of the Kata Muduga Union. Established in 2016 the 161 producers have been building a reputation for excellence and consistency that we get to enjoy and celebrate with every cup we drink.

Offering what are arguably the best-balanced cup profiles in the world, Colombia has become almost synonymous with coffee, and it ranks third in total production. It is composed mostly of tiny fincas (family farms) rather than vast plantations. This means that artisanal micro-lots can vary somewhat due to each farm’s preferred growing and coffee processing methods, but in general Colombian coffees are known for mild, sweet, nutty, medium-acidity flavors. Hailing from the Southern region of Nariño provided by the micro producers of the Yacuanquer municipality. This densely structured coffee gives this blend it's signature clean chocolate finish.
