Step into the spotlight with our Ethiopian Light Roast—the ultimate opening act for your morning. Sourced from the high-altitude hills of Ethiopia, the legendary birthplace of coffee, this roast is designed for those who appreciate the complex "high notes" of a truly exceptional brew.

Brewing Recommendations
To capture the full spectrum of this coffee’s complexity, we recommend brewing via Pour Over (V60 or Chemex). The paper filter helps highlight the delicate oils and floral aromatics, ensuring every sip is crisp and clear.
Roaster’s Note: This is a coffee for the purists. We recommend drinking it black to experience the natural terroir of the beans, but it also makes a killer "flash-chilled" iced coffee for those warm afternoon sets.
