We taste

blackberry jam, milk chocolate, guava

...in this coffee.

This selection of Gidey Hagos represents the combined efforts of about 850 smallholder producers who bring their ripe harvests to the Uraga washing station in the highlands of Guji. Gidey Hagos also happens to be our friend and mother of Yoni Girmai, who recently started Emba Coffee Importers. We are honored to share this special natural lot with you, and it is fitting that such a beautiful coffee should be named after such an amazing woman.

Fresh off the grind, you’ll find the aromatics to be jammy and sweet and full of berries. Blackberry jam predominates in the cup as well and is joined by a rich milk chocolate mid-tone and accompanying tropical fruit notes like guava. Its a great year for naturals from Ethiopia and this gem will be among the best out there. Enjoy!

We buy, roast, and sell coffee. On a surface level, this sounds simple enough. But buying coffee in a way we are proud of and in a way that those who buy our coffee are proud of is often complex, challenging, and hard work. We find ourselves on a continuum of buying and selling that progresses towards more sustainable, meaningful and equitable relationships. The chart below provides basic information for each lot on where we are on this journey.
