About This Coffee

This Yirgacheffe coffee from the Sidamo region of Ethiopia is grown near the shores of Lake Abaya. Cultivated at high altitudes between 1800 and 2200 meters, the coffee develops slowly, allowing the tree to impart more nutrients to the bean. The process is natural, and the varieties include Heirloom and Yirgacheffe. The flavor profile features licorice and blackcurrant notes, offering a balanced and fruity character. This medium roast omniroast has an SCA score of 85.75.

Nerja Coffee Roasters

Kerry Patten, originally from Ireland, and her husband Wesley moved to southern Spain in May 2022 and founded Nerja Coffee Roasters in the coastal town of Nerja on the Costa del Sol. Kerry brings a long international career in coffee; Wesley's background is in economics and financial mathematics. The roastery is certified organic and works exclusively with Fairtrade and specialty grade beans from Africa and South America, roasting in small batches with no added chemicals or preservatives. They sell online, through a subscription service, and at farmers' markets along the Costa del Sol and in Granada. Their sourcing includes Colombian beans from smallholder cooperatives in the Nariño region and Costa Rican coffee from CoopeTarrazú's women's project.
