About This Coffee

This coffee is produced by Eliyas Dukamo and Atiklit Dejene at Elora Washing Station in Arbegona, Sidama, Ethiopia. It is a single origin coffee made from the 74158 variety (Ethiopian heirloom) grown at 2,400 meters above sea level. The beans undergo a washed cold fermentation process, which is a specialized technique that extends the fermentation time in controlled cold conditions to develop more complex flavor compounds.

Archers

Six friends from different professional backgrounds founded Archers in 2018 in Sharjah, driven by a shared conviction that the UAE specialty coffee scene needed better education, access to quality green coffee, and higher sourcing standards. The company operates as both a green coffee trader and a roastery, sourcing from 13 origin countries with a strict minimum cup score of 85. Among the founding team are multiple licensed CQI Q Graders, including co founder and green buyer Frederick Bejo, and the facility holds dual certification as an SCA and CQI training campus. The roasting philosophy centers on minimal intervention, letting the terroir and processing speak rather than imposing a house style. David Disuanco, part of the Archers team, won the 2021 UAE National Brewers Cup and went on to represent the country at the World Brewers Cup, where the UAE placed in the top ten for the first time.
