This coffee is from Guji Zone, Oromia, Ethiopia, sourced from the Mulish Washing Station which collects cherries from hundreds of nearby smallholder farmers. Grown at an elevation of approximately 1,750 to 1,950 meters above sea level, it is processed using the natural method with sun-drying on raised beds. The varietals are Ethiopian Heirloom and Indigenous Landes. Tasting notes include ripe berries, jasmine, and a sweet cocoa finish.
Achilles Coffee Roasters was founded in 2015 by Chad Bell in San Diego, California, named after his son. What started as a modest outdoor coffee cart in the Gaslamp Quarter grew within a year into a leased space in Cortez Hill, and the business now operates five café locations across San Diego County. All coffee is roasted in small batches locally, using beans that carry Organic, Fair Trade, and Rainforest Alliance certifications alongside direct trade relationships where possible. The roastery maintains 12 rotating single origin selections sourced from around the globe, with an emphasis on precision brewing methods including weighed espresso shots.
