ABOUT THE REGION AND FARM

The Gedeb region in southern Ethiopia is among the most appreciated specialty coffee growing areas. Situated at an altitude of 1,900–2,100 meters above sea level, the farms benefit from a cooler climate, fertile soils, and large temperature differences between day and night. Such conditions favor the slow ripening of the cherries, allowing the beans to gradually develop their natural potential.

Coffee trees grow among traditional, diverse crops that provide natural shade. The cherries are harvested by hand, and only fully ripe cherries are selected for further processing. Subsequently, they are processed using the natural method on raised beds, where they require regular turning and careful monitoring throughout the entire drying period. This process allows the origin's character to be preserved and the full potential of the bean to be brought out.

ABOUT THE COFFEE

Notes of mandarin, milk chocolate, and spices dominate in the cup. Citrus accents combine with a chocolate character, while spicy notes complete the whole, creating a cohesive and harmonious flavor profile. This is a coffee that demonstrates the classic character of high-quality coffees from southern Ethiopia, in a version crafted specifically for pour-over brewing methods.

COFFEE OF THE MONTH

Every month, we select unique beans for you in three reveals: Espresso of the Month, Filter of the Month, and - starting now - Turbo Filter. This is our signature selection of coffees that we particularly want to show and recommend to you in a given month. Espresso and Filter of the Month are carefully selected specialty coffees that will work great every day.

Turbo Filter, already known from our cafes, is an option for those who want to reach even higher: a limited and slightly wilder coffee from the Royal Beans selection, distinguished by its unique taste, origin, or processing method. We thoroughly test each of them using various brewing methods, prepare recommended recipes, and tell the story of its beans. See for yourself what we have prepared for you this month! 

Store in a dry and cool place.
