Gerba Dogo
Cafe-PihaAbout This Coffee
Gerba Dogo is an Ethiopian single origin coffee from the Guji region, grown at 2100–2300 meters altitude by producer Shonora. It features Heirloom varieties — wild and endemic cultivars from Ethiopian forests — processed using a washed (lavé) method: cherries are fully depulped, fermented, washed with water, and dried on African raised beds. The cup profile is noted for its lemon freshness and floral lightness. It was awarded a Gold Medal at the Global Coffee Awards Europe 2025 in the Espresso | Single Origin Traditional category.

Cafe-Piha
Piha runs a proper in house roastery tucked behind its main cafe and aims to roast daily so beans leave as fresh as possible. Founder and head roaster Pierre Guérin selects seasonal lots from Colombia, Brazil, Ethiopia, Kenya and Indonesia and focuses on letting each origin express itself in either espresso or filter. The roastery won recognition at the Global Coffee Awards and has worked closely with producers such as the Frinsa Estate in West Java on natural process lots. They ship retail bags, run educational workshops and treat coffee selection with the same curiosity you might give a good bottle of wine.
