Hateso
Spring weather is here, and so is our first Ethiopian coffee of the year! Hateso is a shining example of everything we want in a washed Ethiopian coffee - fresh blueberry, floral honey sweetness, and a silky mouthfeel all make for a beautifully balanced coffee. An oolong tea - like finish invites us to take sip after sip.
CUPPING NOTES

MORE ABOUT THIS COFFEE
Located in the Oromia region, Guji Zone, Odo Shakiso Woreda, the Dambi Uddo farm spans 150 hectares. The estate’s focus is the production of high-quality washed and natural coffees. During harvest, over 2,000 workers are employed by Dambi Uddo to hand-pick and process ripe red coffee cherries. The Guji region produces what is known as “forest coffees”, in other words wild coffees. Guji coffee is also what is known as an “heirloom varietal”, coffee from a specific region and plant that has been grown for generations upon generations. These two qualities make for an extremely unique and origin specific coffee.
Ethiopia, the homeland of Arabica coffee, might only produce 3-4% of the world’s coffee supply, but the variety of character that comes from this origin is astounding. Ethiopia green coffee is celebrated for its bright fruit and floral flavors, expressed with exceptional acidity and sweetness. Out of the many coffee-growing districts in the country, a few stand out from the crowd with their highly distinctive cup profiles, like Yirgacheffe, Sidama, and Guji.

SHIPPING: We ship orders on Tuesdays and Fridays. Order cutoff is 12pm the day PRIOR to the ship day. We do our best to ship your coffee within two days of roasting it. If you ever feel your coffee is not fresh enough, just let us know and we’ll replace it.
Domestic shipping is free for orders of $50 or more. Otherwise, it is a $7.50 flat rate anywhere in the US. We ship everything via UPS Ground.
NOTES ON GRINDING: If you choose “French Press” grind, expect it to be finer than usual, so you’re guaranteed good extraction. Some ultra fine coffee particles will make it through the screen and create a flavorful, albeit slightly opaque cup. In other words, we choose flavor over aesthetics. If you want to keep your cup looking cleaner, choose a pour over grind.
If you don’t see your preferred grind in the options then simply let us know in the notes section at checkout and we’d be happy to grind it for your favorite brewing method.
