This single-estate washed Ethiopian coffee originates from Shakiso and is produced by Getachew Zeleke at Tero Farm. The coffee features Landrace varietals and presents a sweet, clean profile with prominent tasting notes of acai, white tea, and vanilla. As the coffee cools, the flavors blend together to evoke vanilla ice cream with fresh berry compote.
Shoebox Coffee Roasters is a Chicago based micro roastery focused on light roast profiles that emphasize acidity, complexity, and fruit forward flavors. Founded by Maxwell, who previously roasted for Jimmy Beans, the operation is built around sourcing and small batch production. Shoebox conducts origin trips to build direct relationships with farmers, including work with Hacienda La Papaya in Saraguro, Ecuador, sourcing varietals like Mejorado, Sidra, and Geisha. New coffee drops are released every Sunday, roasted and shipped fresh. It is a young roastery that has quickly earned a following in the specialty coffee community for the quality and intentionality of its sourcing.
