Ethiopia - Benti Halo

About This Coffee

This Ethiopian coffee is processed at the Halo Washing Station in Gedeb, near Worka Town, at 2100 masl. The station purchases cherries from approximately 170 smallholder farmers whose farms range from 0.5 to 2 hectares and sit between 1925 and 2110 masl. The cherries are pulped using a traditional Agaarde Disc Pulper, then fermented underwater in tanks for an average of 72 hours before being dried on raised beds for 8-20 days. The coffee is made up of Heirloom varieties and features floral and sweet characteristics with notes of rooibos tea and nectarine. Harvested in February 2024 and sourced through Origin Land Coffee.

Da Matteo

Matts Johansson opened Da Matteo in Gothenburg in July 2007 as a small cafe serving simple Italian food. The operation has since grown into one of the city's most recognized specialty coffee institutions. The roastery at Magasinsgatan processes approximately 150 tonnes of specialty coffee per year, sourced directly from farmers in Guatemala, Colombia, Brazil, Ethiopia, Kenya, and beyond. Roasting leans light to medium, aiming to let the natural character of each bean come through. An in house bakery produces sourdough bread, cinnamon buns, and pastries daily using organic flour and long fermentation. With 60 staff across multiple Gothenburg locations and a wholesale program supplying cafes, restaurants, and offices throughout Sweden, Da Matteo has become the anchor of Gothenburg's specialty coffee scene.
