Managed by Faysel Abdosh(you may recognize this name from our Duwancho drop) and Testi Coffee, Aricha was revived in 2018 after being purchased by Testi Coffee. After years of being in a state of disrepair, Testi Coffee purchased it, completely overhauled the operations, and gave a vital resource to the surrounding coffee growing communities, who previously had to travel very far distances to reach a washing station. Faysel is a strong believer in supporting and uplifting the farming communities he works with, collaborating with the local government to have electrical lines extended out to many local producer's homes. We sourced this coffee through our newest importing partner, Trabocca, who have been working within Ethiopia since 2004, and are dedicated to maintaining stable and traceable year over year purchasing relationships within Ethiopia and beyond it. In the cup we find classical clean blueberry tones, immediately accented by beautifully sweet lemon sorbet. As it cools, jasmine, bergamot, rose and cherry blossom slowly rise to the surface. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Norma Supply Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44698830143532,"sku":null,"price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/0750\/6732\/files\/20250822-182037.jpg?v=1755905954"},{"product_id":"shoebox-ethiopia-mr-tadese-teko-washed-landrace-4-4oz","title":"Shoebox - Ethiopia Mr. Tadese Teko - Washed Landrace 4.4oz","description":"\u003cp\u003eRoasted 8\/21\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eRegion: Shale, Worka, Ethiopia\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eProducers: Mr. Tadese Teko\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eVarietal: Landrace \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eProcess: \u003cspan\u003eWashed\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eTasting notes: Apple Blossom, Nectarine, Lime \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eCup notes: \u003cspan\u003eThis coffee presents all of the classical traits that we look for in a washed Ethiopian: ripe fruit, complex florals, and a punchy acidity.

Managed by Tesfaye Bekele, coffees at Dida Hora start with cherry collection from over 350 local smallholder farmers surrounding the town. Once cherries have been collected and sorted, they are depulped before undergoing 36-72 hours of underwater fermentation. Coffees are then dried on raised beds for 12-15 days. Tesfaye employs 4 full time, year round employees and 72+ seasonal workers. In the cup, we are hit like a bolt of lightning with an electric lemon-lime acidity, followed by a lively sparkling blackberry soda note.

They initially only planted 4 hectares of coffee and were happy with the land being used as a refuge from their full time jobs in the city, growing and selling coffee as a means to get away from the noise and retreat. After years of keeping this up, the Bolivian government began to wane in its support of coffee growing subsidies and it was no longer economically viable, so the farm fell into a state of disrepair with trees losing their production and getting swallowed up by the surrounding wildlife. In 2019, Yulissa decided she wanted to revive the family farm, again replanting the initial 4 hectares with Red Catuai, and planting another 3 hectares a bit later. Yulissa's intense passion for the coffee supply chain lead her deeper and deeper into coffee as a career, eventually culminating in her winning the 2024 Aeropress championship in Bolivia. Most of her harvest immediately goes to local buyers, as her name in the Bolivian specialty scene is highly regarded. This particular harvest of Red Catuai underwent a very classical washed process, with coffees being floated and fully depulped before undergoing a short 20hr wet fermentation in clean tanks. After being washed and free of any remaining mucilage, the coffees were left to dry in parchment on raised beds for 20 days.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eIn the cup we find stupidly sweet malic tones of pear and apple, with a charming background of marzipan and black tea.

Prior to Long Miles opening, it was nearly impossible to source a directly traceable microlot from a single community in Burundi, and the abundance of potato defect made even the best lots inconsistent from cup to cup. Through the opening of 3 different washing stations in Burundi, and the diligent effort and communication with 12 individually traceable \"Hills\" or coffee growing communities, Long Miles has made long standing year over year coffee relationships in Burundi not only possible, but coveted amongst roasters who've heard and tasted nothing but good things from them. In a constant pursuit of community empowerment, education, and high coffee quality, Long Miles has also started the Coffee Scouts project. Lead by a team of Long Miles' very own agronomists, the Coffee Scouts are a team of 26 young Burundians living local to the villages they work with. The Scouts have been provided with ongoing agronomy education and are practically trained in coffee farming best practices. They work year round as full time employees to teach classes and help plant shade trees at smallholder farms all throughout the Hills that Long Miles works with. All of this effort has culminated in the best coffee from Burundi we have ever tasted, often turning out better than many Ethiopian and Kenyan lots we come across.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis lot is the result of precise screen size sorting done at Heza washing station, with anything falling between 14-15 screen being designated as \" peaberry\" and separated out into it's own regional lot, representing work from the whole harvest season and all of the producers surrounding Heza in Butanyerera, Kayanza.

As a way to ensure the hardwork of producers doesn't go to waste, we've decided to funnel those sorts of coffees into a discounted, bulk quantity blend roasted omni-light to better suit the green.

Despite growing up in a coffee producing family, it wasn't until the age of 17 that Marlon took an interest in it, signing himself up for a Barista education course at SENA where he learned brewing, green coffee grading, and sensory analysis. Upon returning from that course, Marlon began planting differentiated varietals like pink bourbon, gesha, and chiroso while experimenting with new fermentation techniques on each subsequent harvest. Flash forward to today, and the farm is now owned by Marlon and his 2 brothers, Pedro and Hemerson. Marlon is responsible for quality control, fermentation protocols, sampling and part of the logistics operations. Marlon has also competed and won in several barista and brewing competitions over the last several years, taking spring water from his family's farm for brewing. It's especially suited for coffee due to the natural trace mineral composition, and now coveted by peers after earning the name \"Champion's Water.\" For this Aji lot, Marlon set his intentions on an extremely clean processing profile with minimal intervention to highlight the incredible florals and herbality that this coffee has to offer. After being depulped and floated for defects, this coffee underwent only 12 hours of fermentation in open tanks before being dried for 10-15 days.\u003cbr\u003eIn the cup, this cleanliness shows through beautifully, offering an immense clarity of botanicals and herbality alongside punchy fruits for balance. While hot, we find golden kiwi and granny smith apple acidity brightly showing out before it cools into a herbal and floral fusion of spearmint and orange blossom. \u003cbr\u003eSource: Unblended Coffee\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Norma Supply Co.","offers":[{"title":"125g","offer_id":45574393331756,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/0750\/6732\/files\/MarlonAji-shopify.webp?v=1779846815"},{"product_id":"shoebox-bavyevi-iv-bourbon-natural-burundi-125g","title":"Shoebox - Bavyevi IV - Bourbon - Natural - Burundi 125g","description":"\u003cp\u003eRoasted 5\/14\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.primavera.coffee\/\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eRegion: Ngozi, Burundi\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eProducer: Smallholder farmers organized around Bavyevi IV, exported through JNP\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eVarietal: Local bourbon varietals\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eProcess: \u003cspan\u003eNatural\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eTasting notes: Strawberry, cranberry, cherry blossom\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eProducer info and cup notes: \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis beautifully clean natural was brought to us through JNP Coffee, a company founded by Jeanine Nyonzima-Aroian. JNP is highly focused on supporting women's empowerment in Burundi, working closely with women's rights advocates in the region and the IWCA(International Women's Coffee Alliance) Burundi chapter to provide education, higher premiums for quality, and building community resources. This lot comes from a women-owned producer group from Ngozi named Bavyevi, meaning \"parents\" in the Kirundi language, meant to honor the hardwork of generations of coffee growers before them. Bavyevi's leadership works closely with JNP's quality team in the region to make improvements in cup quality and gain higher premiums for the producers they represent. Naturals produced in Ngozi are a painstaking, labor intensive process involving regular turning of the coffee as it dries on raised beds, often taking 45-60 days to fully complete. This immense effort results in an incredibly layered and nuanced cup profile, with heavy strawberry syrup notes while hot, and layers of tart cranberry and pineapple tropicality as it cools. Florals begin to emerge as the cup cools to room temp, with cherry blossom and hibiscus being supported by a nice oolong tea body. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSource: Royal Coffee \/\/ JNP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Norma Supply Co.","offers":[{"title":"125g","offer_id":45574393790508,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/0750\/6732\/files\/BavyeviIV-shopify_2985e74f-2f53-4287-b017-3f355fc8e67f_1.webp?v=1779846950"},{"product_id":"shoebox-busanze-bourbon-natural-rwanda-125g","title":"Shoebox - Busanze - Bourbon - Natural - Rwanda 125g","description":"\u003cp\u003eRoasted 5\/14\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.primavera.coffee\/\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eRegion: Nyaruguru, Rwanda\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eProducer: Smallholder farmers organized around KUN \/\/ Busanze Washing Station\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eVarietal: Local bourbon varietals\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eProcess: \u003cspan\u003eNatural\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eTasting notes: Strawberry-rhubarb, orange blossom, lemon zest\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eProducer info and cup notes: \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003eIn the southern province of Rwanda, within the Nyaruguru district, lies Busanze washing station.

This lot from Daniel Hernandez jumped off the table with screaming florals and ripe, fresh fruit, and as previously mentioned, any coffee that gets a \"wow\" or a \"holy shit\" on the cupping table is an instantaneous buy for us. Through his work in the PEC(Coffee Excellence Program) in Colombia, Daniel works diligently to help his neighbors increase the end cup quality and tighten up farming and processing practices. This is something we hugely admire, as we believe that open collaboration and the old saying \"a rising tide raises all ships\" is the only path forward in specialty coffee. Daniel's farm El Tigre sits at just over 2000m in the outskirts of Urrao where he and his sister Natalie also grow avocados and other fruits. As part of his pursuit of quality improvements, Daniel installed raised drying beds a couple years back and currently has the processing and drying of his coffees very well dialed, undergoing careful cherry selection before being washed for just 24 hours, leaving the resulting cup clean and crisp.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs a result, we find a beautifully layered cup full of pomegranate, elderflower and rose while hot.
