/025 marks the return of our washed Ethiopian classic, this time from the Single Farmer Project—a program that pioneered farm-traceable coffees in Ethiopia. Since 2012, it has allowed roasters to highlight the individual farmer behind each lot, strengthening long-term relationships and transparency.
This lot comes from Mr. Ocholo Bedecho, who owns 8 hectares in Oromia’s Guji Zone. His land, unusually large for the district, supports his family of eight children who balance farm work with school. Beyond coffee, he cultivates vegetables and Enset for daily food, but it is coffee that provides both livelihood and opportunity.
Grown at high elevations in Guji’s deep red soils, native heirloom varieties here develop a distinct profile: bright fruit, light florals, and a grounding note of chocolate. This cup is both timeless and specific—an Ethiopian archetype with a direct link to a single producer.
Ethiopia remains singular in the coffee world: not introduced as a colonial crop, but embedded in culture, history, and daily life. By sourcing through the Single Farmer Project, /025 carries that heritage forward while giving visibility and value to the producer.
A clean, complex washed Ethiopian, tied to its land and its farmer, and part of an ongoing story of traceability.

FORM vs FUNCTION vs LESS WASTE
We love good packaging design, but not waste. That’s why we aim for a balance between aesthetics and sustainability. Finding food-safe solutions that work across local and international recycling systems isn’t easy, but we take it seriously. For us, reuse, reduce, recycle is more than just a label.
When ordering coffee, you can choose from three packaging types:
A.M.O.C. JAR
Made from fully recyclable PET. Lightweight, durable, and made to be reused endlessly.
REFILL
A low-waste option, vacuum-packed in thin, food-grade PP without a valve or zipper. About 40% lighter than standard bags and easier to recycle. These are not retail-friendly and may lose vacuum in transit—this doesn’t affect quality. Transfer to a container after opening. Not freezer-safe unless portioned first.
KILO BAG
For larger orders, we use high-barrier packaging that protects freshness and is recyclable under certain conditions. We chose it for both performance and environmental impact.
You’ll find more on our packaging choices and sustainability approach on the about page.
ESPRESSO VS FILTER ROAST
Our filter roasts are designed for clarity and expression, but they’re great for both filter and espresso brewing. In fact, we often prefer the brighter, more expressive profile they bring to espresso.
Espresso roasts, on the other hand, are specifically developed for espresso brewing only. We don’t recommend using them for filter methods, as they’re tailored for higher extraction and a more classic cup profile.
Choose based on your taste and brew method, but know we stand behind both.
ROAST DATE
All our coffees are shipped as fresh as possible, typically within a few days of roasting. We don’t sit on a lot of stock and roast multiple times a week, so what you receive has been roasted recently, usually no longer than a 7-10 days before shipping, but it could also be roasted and shipped the same day.
You’ll find the exact roast date printed on the label. We recommend resting the coffee for a few days after roasting to allow it to degas and open up in flavour.
