Beloya Ethiopia Single Origin Coffee Beans
This is our third year buying from the Beloya washing station, and one we always look forward to. It also marks the start of our Ethiopian offerings; time to get excited!
A classic, super sweet expression of place, this washed smallholder lot is full of stone fruit and florals. It makes for a delicate, clean filter brew- but the intense sweetness also translates really well into espresso.

About the producer
Smallholder farmers in the hills surrounding the washing station bring their cherry here to be processed, cupped, and sold. Coffee is grown at high altitudes in iron rich soils with a spread of genetic diversity provided by the heirloom varietals. The farmers use traditional pest control methods that have been in use for many years, and so organic production is commonly found.
