Our final Ethiopian release of the year is a stunning natural lot from the producers of Uraga in Ethiopias Guji Zone, well known for producing some of the finest lots around. Bright and juicy profiles like this are most welcome at this time of year, when the temperature drops and the days become dark. They provide some much needed lightness and their elegant characteristics make the mornings a little easier.

BUYING STANDARDS

It’s really important for us to work with trusted partners in our supply chain who can provide us with honesty and traceability. We have created a set of guidelines to help us source coffee in a way we feel aligns with our values and beliefs. There are three core categories that we think outline the most important factors to consider when purchasing coffee: economic transparency, social relationship, and environmental efforts.

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN

Uraga, Ethiopia

Ethiopian season is always highly anticipated in the roastery, after a long wait the team are excited for the return of the familiar profiles of stone fruits, florals and their delicate structure. Though Ethiopia has seen its fair share of struggles in recent years the coffee quality has always remained excellent - this year is no exception.

230 smallholder producers of Uraga

At high altitudes of 1900-2250 metres above sea level a total of 230 producers contributed to this lot of natural heirloom coffee. In coffee growth and production high altitude lots are sought after, the cooler temperatures higher up mean slower maturation times of the cherries which translates to increased sweetness and complexity in the final cup, attributes this lot has in abundance.

Cherries are delivered and sold to the wet mill daily where a team of women sort the coffee for defects before it is laid on raised African beds for roughly 17 days to dry - a relatively long time in coffee drying standards and an important factor in how coffees age over time. This slow drying process is another thing Ethiopian coffees are famed for, contributing to how well the coffee ages and maintains its incredible flavour. We couldn’t think of a better coffee to end this years Ethiopian season.

Social Relationships

Female Producers

In many coffee growing countries, the concept of women owning coffee farms is still uncommon and in some places, prohibited by government laws. Yet women contribute a staggering amount of the labour involved in producing coffee, from picking the cherries to hand sorting and processes. Supporting female producers and co-ops is crucial to eliminating the gender gap in coffee.
