Story

Triangle Accent

This release represents a new exploration into sourcing coffees from the Western regions of Ethiopia. For many years, we’ve been focused solely on areas in the South, like Guji and Yirgacheffe, so we’re excited to branch out a bit with this one. Though coffees are usually blended together at centralized processing stations, we’ve seen many more single farm lots out of Ethiopia since regulation changes have allowed larger farmers to obtain export licenses. 

Abdulrherman (Abdu) Ababulgu served for six years as the treasurer of a well-known cooperative in the area, Duromina (which we purchased from many years ago!), before planting his own 4 hectares of land and making the move to directly export. We’re excited to continue exploring similar Ethiopian coffees in the future that push boundaries and pave the way for increased transparency. 

We’ve been consistently impressed with the complexity and clarity of flavor that this lot from Abdu Ababulgu has to offer. The acidity is bright and zippy, reminiscent of cherry limeade, yet the coffee remains silky and highly drinkable thanks to a heavy dose of honey-like sweetness. Honestly, it’s absolutely everything we love about washed Ethiopian coffees! We’re tasting: peach rings, red plum, lavender, rose, basil, wildflower honey, red vermouth, sweet tea.

    This is one of my original favorites. Not too dark, not too light it meets right in the middle for a wonderful dark side of medium blend.

    This has been one of my favorite coffee beans of all time. It is delicious when brewed with pour over, even as an espresso.
