A natural-processed coffee from the Gedeo region of Ethiopia. Grown at elevations between 1,950 and 2,000 meters above sea level by approximately 400 smallholder farmers who deliver cherries to the Danche washing station operated by SNAP Coffee. The coffee is dried whole for 2-3 weeks using the natural processing method, resulting in a full-bodied and sweet cup with candy-like fruitiness, floral notes, and honeyed sweetness. The small farms are typically 1-2 hectares in size with 1,800-2,400 coffee trees per hectare. Grown organically but not certified organic.
Good Life Coffee Roasters grew from a Helsinki café venture that Lauri Pipinen opened in 2012, eventually establishing the dedicated roastery in 2014. Lauri, a three time Finnish barista champion, brings championship pedigree to the operation and has competed in the World Coffee Championships representing Finland. The roastery's philosophy is straightforward and unpretentious: source and roast coffee that is fresh, tasty, and easy to drink. Over the years, the roastery has evolved from a small neighborhood café into an award-winning operation, earning the title of Best Roaster at the Nordic Coffee Fest in 2024.
