This single origin coffee is sourced from family-owned farms organized around the Homacho Waeno Cooperative in the Aleta Wondo district within the Sidama Zone and Yirgacheffe Zone of Ethiopia. The cooperative has over 3,900 members and is part of the Oromia Coffee Farmers' Cooperative Union. The coffee features indigenous heirloom cultivars grown at 1940 meters above sea level in vertisol soil. It is hand-picked and fully washed, then sun-dried on raised beds. The coffee is Fair Trade and Organic certified. Flavor notes include floral and sweet characteristics with meyer lemon, brown sugar, and honey.
Café Moto was founded in 2012 by Jason Weis in San Diego, California. The roastery operates a Diedrich IR 12 from its location, producing bright, clean profiles that highlight origin characteristics. Weis sources through direct trade relationships with farmers and importers, focusing on single origin coffees and seasonal offerings. The café serves espresso, pour over, and retail beans, and the business supplies wholesale accounts across San Diego's restaurant, café, and hotel scene. Café Moto also hosts public cuppings and education events as part of its involvement in the local specialty coffee community.
