About This Coffee

This coffee comes from smallholder producer Asefa Beraso Shato in the town of Konga, in the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia. It is an Heirloom varietal processed naturally, allowing the cherry to dry around the seed and concentrating bright fruit character. Tasting notes highlight Hawaiian punch, tropical fruit and mango, producing a vibrant, fruit-forward cup suitable for both espresso and filter brewing.

Proud Mary Coffee

Nolan and Shari Hirte opened Proud Mary in Collingwood in 2009. A trip along the American west coast had shown him what specialty coffee could be and he returned to Melbourne determined to bring that approach to a country that was, at the time, an espresso nation. Nolan first attended Cup of Excellence in 2011; since then, Proud Mary staff have served on international juries for over a decade. Proud Mary became one of Melbourne's first roasters to champion filter coffee and single-origin brewing. The roastery categorizes its offerings along a Mild-to-Wild spectrum. Their Ghost Rider blend, a natural-processed combination of Brazilian and Ethiopian coffees, is award-winning. A second roasting operation now runs from Portland, Oregon, supplying American wholesale accounts and retail customers with locally roasted beans.
