Read about Grind Types

We have recently adjusted our grind options. With that in mind, we wanted to offer this primer so that you can choose the best grind-style for your preferred brewing method.

Whole Bean-- While we are happy to grind your beans, your coffee will stay fresher longer if you grind it as you go. There are many great home grinder options out there and many are surprisingly inexpensive.

Drip-- This is a medium grind that is the most versatile. Brewing methods using drip include home coffee drip machines, pour-overs (like Hario), Chemex, and AeroPress.

Espresso-- This grind is generally used for espresso makers. This includes home machines and stove-tip espresso pots. The grind is the most fine and is optimized to work with a high pressure extraction system.

Coarse-- Coarse is for percolators, french press, cold brewing, and sometimes AeroPress. Coarse is the biggest/loosest grind and enables water to move more freely steeping coffee for extraction.

All of the above, while generally true in the industry, also should be adjusted for preference. Feel free to experiment and please contact us if you have questions and we will be happy to work with you.

Product Overview

Ethiopian natural, or "unwashed" coffees are characteristic for their berry and fruit-like flavor. This coffee has a sweet, berry, fruity flavor with a creamy body and medium-to-high acidity. A berry flavor is naturally imparted to unwashed coffees, because the coffee's cherry-like fruit is left on after harvesting and the coffee seed (or bean) dries inside the cherry. Coffee beans that are washed or wet-processed are immediately removed from the fruit, washed and then air-dried. The Telamo cooperative that produces this coffee is located in the Shebedino District of the Sidama Zone and has about 4,000 members.

Available in a variety of grind options.

    Everyone should give this a try

    Posted by Stephen Graber on Feb 4th 2021

    Least like any other coffee I have ever tasted! Very unusual in a good way. Has an earthy aroma and taste you can't miss, the flavor is full without being at all bitter. Great texture too. They say "cherry", I can see that. Not my choice for everyday, but when you want something different this is a good pick. Have also mixed it with several dark roasts and it smooths them out without ruining their dark, smoky complexity.

    My go-to favorite

    Posted by Christine C on Jan 28th 2021

    I love the fruity lightness of the flavor of this coffee! It's not light in flavor, but it's bright and full-bodied -- always enjoyable. I buy whole beans and grind it before brewing, and use a pour-over pot. Delicious!
