This coffee is from the Gotiti community in the Gedeb district of Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia. Grown at 2000-2100 meters altitude by smallholder farmers, it is made from indigenous Ethiopian landrace varieties. The cherries are washed, soaked overnight, and dried on raised African beds for 12-15 days. This meticulous washed process creates a cup with soft honeydew sweetness, delicate floral-candy aromatics, and a clean, tea-like finish reminiscent of jasmine green tea. Gentle pear and stonefruit notes emerge as the coffee cools.

Steel Oak Coffee was founded in 2016 by Carl and Michele Dupper in Ormond Beach, Florida, with a focus on small batch specialty grade coffee. The roastery produces clean, natural flavors without additives, letting the bean speak for itself across a rotating selection of origins from Ethiopia, Kenya, Nicaragua, Brazil, Guatemala, and Colombia. Steel Oak sources ethically and seasonally, with full traceability that allows the Duppers to share the producer stories and farming practices behind every bag. Visitors to the roastery can watch the process firsthand, experiencing a working small batch operation up close.
