Layo Teraga is a washed Ethiopian coffee from Uraga Woreda in the Guji Zone, produced by the Layo Teraga cooperative at 2,342 masl. Variety 74110 JARC undergoes pulping, ~45-hour fermentation, and 12 days drying on raised beds. Tasting notes include orange, papaya, stone fruit, floral aromatics, and confectionery-like sweetness with a bright, juicy profile.
Methodical Coffee was launched in Greenville, South Carolina, in 2015 by a trio of friends David, Will, and Marco. They managed to blend Will’s background running a mobile coffee cart with Marco’s product design skills to build a brand that looks super elegant but feels totally warm and welcoming. Their roasting style is all about clarity and sweetness; they generally avoid the super-dark stuff in favor of clean, vibrant profiles that are easy to drink every single day. The packaging is famously beautiful, patterned and floral. It feels like the ultimate Southern hospitality take on specialty coffee.
