Where to find us
Process- Washed
Variety- 74110, 74112
The story
Washed Yirgacheffe, and about as bright as coffee gets before it turns into a lemon. Electric lemon, cherry candy, florals over the top — no fermentation muddying any of it, which is the whole argument for washing a coffee this good. Heirloom selections again, 74110 and 74112, grown high enough that the acidity has structure rather than just sharpness. Brew it clean: paper filter, 1:16, water just off the boil. Anything that dulls it is working against the coffee.
What we got
Here's what we taste.
This is what the cup reminds us of — you might get something else, and that's the fun of it. Here's where it lands on the wheel.

Why it tastes like this
It starts with the fruit.
Before roasting, before brewing, someone decided how to get the seed out of the cherry. That choice does more to the cup than almost anything after it.
- This coffee
Washed
The fruit is stripped off within hours, and the seed ferments in water before drying bare.
Clean and transparent. You taste the place it grew and the varietal, not the fruit it came in — so acidity reads sharper and the cup is easier to pick apart.
Honey
The skin comes off but the sticky layer underneath stays on through drying.
The middle ground, and the one people guess wrong. Rounder and sweeter than washed, without the fermented edge a natural can take on.
Natural
The whole cherry dries with the seed still inside it, fruit and all, for weeks.
Heavier, sweeter, unmistakably fruity — berries and jam. It's the loudest of the three, and where funk comes from when a coffee tastes wild.
How we brew it
Made for this cup.
Three ways
The same beans, a different cup.
We buy for versatility, so this isn't a bag that only works one way. Here's what changes when you brew it differently — and which of them we'd reach for.

Pour-over
Chemex
Water passes through the bed once and drains away.
The cleanest, most separated cup — acidity reads brightest and individual notes stay distinct. Also the fussiest: grind and pour speed both show up in the taste.

Immersion
Hoffmann French Press
Grounds sit in the full volume of water for the whole brew, then get separated at the end.
Heavier body and more blended flavor — notes overlap rather than standing apart. Much harder to get wrong, which is why it's the forgiving one.

Espresso
Espresso (Normale)
Pressure forces a small amount of water through a tightly packed bed in seconds.
Concentrated and syrupy. The same coffee reads sweeter and far more intense, and its sharper edges get louder along with everything else.

Off the cooling tray and into a box within days, so it lands near its peak.
