Spring!!
As many of you know, I'm a one man show here in the woods of Chilmark. So, what does that mean? I try to work with responsible suppliers/importers who in turn have strong relationships with farmers/producers.
I also roast and ship just once a week, so if you order before Monday, your order should ship Tuesday.
Many of our coffees come to us with certifications that guarantee they were produced with and without organic chemical pesticides. As a responsible roaster, we have tried to inform our customers when coffees are processed without the use of pesticides. Organic Certification allows for an integrated pest management system and customers should be informed about what it means to have that certification. We also roast coffees certified fair trade and rainforest alliance. We have always been focused on providing amazing coffees without using a certain criteria which has a limited focus, but looking at coffees that have broader reaching implications to our planets health.
Hope you enjoy these new coffees!!

Ethiopia
Origin: Ethiopia Region: Gera City: Limu Varietal: Heirloom Varietals Altitude: 1850-1900masl washed, hand sorted Four hundred kilometers southwest of Addis Ababa, this sweet, bright coffee grows in the Gera district near the city of Djimma. The area just north of the Gojeb River is full of diverse crops. Spices, corn, and teff (a grain used to make Ethiopia’s spongy bread, injera) all grow here, and higher up, you’ll find coffee. The soil here is a rich, red soil with a high clay content, called nitosol, that is great for growing flavorful coffee. In Gera, bean quality literally starts from the ground up. Gera is known for cooler, wetter weather. The highland climate is shadier and receives 8 months of rainfall, resulting in well-irrigated coffee that is bursting with flavor. The coffee trees here grow under a natural forest, allowing the beans to develop more slowly and take on fuller flavors. This coffee is hand-picked by small farmers, then pulped, washed, and laid out to dry. This region has historically produced natural dried coffees, but many are turning their efforts towards specialty washed coffee – with delicious results. After drying, the washed beans are then carefully sorted to remove any defects, allowing the natural flavors of heirloom coffee varieties to carry through into the cup. We think: Floral, Pineapple, a light roast $17.50 for 12 oz bag of whole bean coffee |
