This coffee is from the Sidamo zone in Ethiopia, grown in the rift valley areas from Hawassa to Gedeb. It is a washed coffee processed using traditional methods: beans are de-pulped, fermented for 12-36 hours, washed, and dried on raised beds. The coffee is made up of heirloom local varieties including Kumie, Diga, and Wilsho. Medium roasted, it offers flavours of lemon, bergamot, black tea, orange and chocolate with characteristic jasmine floral notes.

Grain & Grind opened its first coffee shop at the start of 2018 beneath the old Victoria Infirmary buildings on Battlefield Road in Glasgow. A roaster was installed in that original shop and later relocated to Inverness, where master roaster John now hand roasts in small batches across a range of over twenty offerings. The company has grown to eight café locations spread between Glasgow and Inverness. They also run a wholesale supply business providing beans, brew bags, and equipment to cafés, restaurants, and hotels, partnering with San Remo for espresso machines and Mahlkönig for grinders.
