When we began roasting over 13 years ago, Ethiopian coffees were not on our menu—not for lack of admiration, but because traceability and relationship-driven buying was rarely achievable. Coffee moved through a centralized auction system that often dissolved farmer identity and blurred payment accountability beyond the exporter or washing station. Reforms to the Ethiopian Coffee Exchange in 2017/2018 reshaped what was possible for traceable trade, as did the dedication to building alternate trade models by community and impact driven washing station owners, exporters and importers, like those behind Green Spring, our latest Ethiopian release. We purchased this coffee through @ositocoffee who partner with exporter Mike Mamo of Addis Exporting—a vertically integrated partnership that deepens transparency from farm to export and brings us closer than ever to the the people behind each lot. According to Osito, Mike and his close collaborator Ture have become known for producing some of the most expressive washed and natural coffees in the region. Green Spring stopped us in our tracks: a natural lot of remarkable sweetness, clarity, and layered structure, grown by ~34 landholders surrounding Mike and Ture’s drying station. We learned most of the coffee produced in the region comes from 1970s-era regional hybrids of heirloom rainforest varieties, which provides for the unmistakable Guji terroir in the cup — stone fruit, florals, and vivid syrupy sweetness. —-> Green Spring remains on our menu for a little while longer. We recommend brewing with paper filter, though this coffee is surprisingly balanced and sweet on espresso!

In a small village in the rugged mountains of Oaxaca state Mexico, Antonia Fuentes harvests Typica coffee on her family farm. This marks the first time her coffee has been featured by a Canadian specialty roaster — which makes us more honoured to present her coffee to you. We’re grateful to our exporting partners at @azaharsources for helping to make this connection possible, and are proud to amplify their impactful and transparent buying approach. Antonia grows and processes her coffee using natural methods. Ripe cherries are carefully handpicked, manually depulped, and fermented for 24 hours in a small concrete tank before being sun-dried for 7–10 days in the sun. The result is a cup that is clean, juicy, and elegant — layered atop a delicate honeysuckle sweetness we taste notes of melon, citrus, mango, and fresh cream. We find Antonia’s coffee shines brightest on paper filter methods like Chemex, AeroPress, or V60. Link in bio to shop and bring Antonia’s coffee home! đŸ“· 1-3: @azaharsources đŸ“· 4: @carbsnproteins —— Dans un petit village nichĂ© dans les montagnes escarpĂ©es de San Juan Ozotepec, Ă  Oaxaca, Antonia Fuentes rĂ©colte le cafĂ© Typica avec sa famille sur six hectares de terres qu’elle cultive avec amour. C’est la premiĂšre fois que son cafĂ© est mis en valeur par un torrĂ©facteur canadien spĂ©cialisĂ©, ce qui rend notre prĂ©sentation d’autant plus prestigieuse. Nous remercions nos partenaires exportateurs d’Azahar Coffee d’avoir rendu cette collaboration possible et sommes fiers de soutenir leur dĂ©marche d’achat responsable et transparente. Antonia cultive et transforme son cafĂ© selon des mĂ©thodes naturelles et ancestrales. Les cerises mĂ»res sont cueillies Ă  la main avec soin, dĂ©pulpĂ©es manuellement et fermentĂ©es pendant 24 heures dans une petite cuve en bĂ©ton avant d’ĂȘtre sĂ©chĂ©es au soleil pendant 7 Ă  10 jours. Le rĂ©sultat ? Un cafĂ© pur, juteux et Ă©lĂ©gant, aux subtiles notes de chĂšvrefeuille, de melon, d’agrumes, de mangue et de crĂšme fraĂźche. Le cafĂ© d’Antonia rĂ©vĂšle toute sa saveur avec les mĂ©thodes d’infusion Ă  filtre papier comme la Chemex, l’AeroPress ou la V60.

Introducing Sierra Azul, from Chiapas Mexico. This is a fresh crop coffee harvested this spring by 20 women producers, all holding very small organic certified farms. Their coffee is depulped and sun dried on the farm and dry milled and exported by the cooperatively owned ‘CafĂ© Gourmet Sierra Azul’. Three varieties make up this blend: Bourbon, Mundo novo and Typica, and we taste complex sugars in the cup (honey, panela), with ripe Anjou pear. Chiapas is one of the countries most prolific specialty coffee growing regions, and home to the UNESCO-designated El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve. Sierra Azul comes to us via a new importing partner, @cereza_coffee . đŸ“· 1: Clara Lacasse @carbsnproteins đŸ“· 2: Elvira PĂ©rez Ortiz, one of the 20 contributing producers.

Photo via Cereza Coffee —— PrĂ©sentation de Sierra Azul, un assemblage rĂ©gional soyeux et parfaitement Ă©quilibrĂ© provenant du Chiapas, au Mexique. Cette rĂ©colte du printemps dernier est traçable jusqu’à 20 productrices cultivant chacune environ 3 hectares de fermes certifiĂ©es biologiques. Leur cafĂ© est dĂ©pulpĂ© et sĂ©chĂ© au soleil Ă  la ferme, puis transformĂ© Ă  sec et exportĂ© par la coopĂ©rative CafĂ© Gourmet Sierra Azul. Trois variĂ©tĂ©s composent cet assemblage : Bourbon, Mundo Novo et Typica. En tasse, on goĂ»te des sucres complexes (miel, panela) accompagnĂ©s de notes de poire Anjou mĂ»re. Le Chiapas est l’une des rĂ©gions les plus prolifiques du pays pour la culture de cafĂ©s de spĂ©cialitĂ©, et abrite l’intĂ©gration naturelle de la RĂ©serve de biosphĂšre El Triunfo, classĂ©e au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO. Sierra Azul nous parvient grĂące Ă  notre nouveau partenaire importateur, Cereza Coffee.
