About This Coffee

This coffee is from the Worka Sakaro Washing Station in the Gedeo Zone of Ethiopia's Yirgacheffe region, grown at 2,000 to 2,200 meters altitude. It is processed using an anaerobic natural method where ripe cherries are sealed in oxygen-free tanks for fermentation before being dried on raised beds. The varietals are Indigenous Heirloom Cultivars including Kumie, Siga, and Wilsho. The cup features juicy blackberry and blood orange with floral notes of hibiscus, complemented by grapefruit and lemon brightness, finishing with a boozy, wine-like quality.

Bellwood Coffee

Bellwood Coffee was founded in 2018 by brothers Joel and Charles Norman in Atlanta, Georgia, with creative direction from Tommy Keough and initial roasting led by Ben Shaum, who devoted a year long Emory University fellowship to studying the social impact of coffee buying. Joel now leads roasting at the 3,000 square foot Riverside flagship, where a self contained roaster produces small batches weekly with a lighter, flavour forward profile designed to let natural characteristics shine. The company has grown to five locations across Atlanta, including a partnership with the Little Shop of Stories bookstore in Decatur. All sourcing emphasises traceability through direct relationships with importers and producers, and the range rotates through around 10 coffees at any given time.
