This naturally processed Ethiopian coffee is produced by 850 smallholder growers from Jigesa Village in the Guji region. Processed at the Jigesa washing station operated by Testi Coffee, it features strict cherry ripeness standards and extended flotation to separate defects. The beans are dried on raised beds for 21 days. Mixed Heirloom variety with tropical and stone fruit notes, delicate floral overtones, and round, juicy sweetness. Flavor notes include papaya, chamomile, and red plum.
Christian Johnson founded Spyhouse Coffee Roasters in 2000 in Minneapolis, and the company became a farm to cup operation in 2013 when it opened a dedicated roasting facility in the city's Northeast arts district. Spyhouse has earned two Good Food Awards, for its Juan Domingo from Guatemala and Dimtu Tero from Ethiopia, and its staff are active across Specialty Coffee Association events and the Barista Guild Executive Council. The roastery was acquired by FairWave Coffee Collective in 2021, expanding its reach while maintaining the sourcing and roasting standards that built its reputation in the Twin Cities over more than two decades.
