Fresh off the grind the aromatics are intensely floral and tropical. The peach and white grape from Buku, transforms into mango in the blend - and the blackberry from Gidey leans more towards raspberry.

We can't think of a better way to finish the Migration 8 season, than making version 8.2 a 50/50 blend of Buku Sayisa and Gidey Hagos. These two coffees, washed and natural respectively, were sourced by our importing friend and former Sweet Bloom employee, Yoni Girmai. Yoni recently started Emba Importers and we partnered with him to help bring in his first full container.

Both of these coffees are special in their own way. Buku Sayisa just happened to win the Africa's Fine Coffee Association's (AFCA) Taste of Harvest competition's top spot this year for washed entries. Gidey Hagos, a stellar natural lot from Guji. is endearingly named after Yoni's mom.  There is much to love about these two coffees, including how well they work together as a blend!

Fresh off the grind the aromatics are intensely floral and tropical. The peach and white grape from Buku, transforms into mango in the blend - and the blackberry from Gidey leans more towards raspberry. We are also finding a wonderful melon like flavor reminiscent of cantaloupe. Seriously delish! If you've been loving this year's versions of Migration, we expect this last version for 2025 will be your favorite. Definitely use this blend for cold brew, but you will not be disappointed with 8.2 as drip or pulling sweet, floral, berry and tropical fruit shots.

1Spot purchase

“Spot” is coffee in an importer’s inventory they have not sold. When we need to fill gaps in our contractual and relationship purchases, we buy spot. Of course, we are always open to spot becoming relationship purchases, and sometimes they do.

 2Contract purchase

Most of our purchases are contractual, meaning we have made a commitment to purchase the coffee before it arrives in the US. In general contracts are meant to build security for the producer and importer, and to help us make sure we have the coffee we need to share with you.

 3Repeat purchase

We are proud of the fact that many of the coffees we purchase are repeat purchases, and have been for years. Most producers, especially from Central and South America, can count on us purchasing their coffee year after year.

 4Visits

We’ve met, and have an ongoing relationship with the producer. At a minimum, they have visited us at Sweet Bloom, or we have visited them on the farm. As the relationship deepens, we build our understanding of:

1) challenges faced from one year to the next
2) sustainability practices on the farm
3) how the farmer is caring for their staff
4) ways in which we can support projects the farmers have implemented on the farm and in the community
