A forest coffee from the Hangadhi village, near the town of Shakiso in the Guji zone of Ethiopia, grown at 2200 meters altitude. Produced by Guji Highland Coffee Plantation, which works with around thirty smallholder farmers cultivating small family plots under a polyculture agroforestry system. The coffee is an Arabica Heirloom variety, hand-harvested from November to December and processed naturally, dried on African raised beds. Flavor notes include strawberry, citrus, hazelnut, and chocolate.
Romain Fabry traded his career as a lawyer for the world of specialty coffee, founding La Compagnie du Café in 2015 at 19 Rue Notre Dame de Lorette in Paris's 9th arrondissement. The space operates as a roastery, coffee shop, and brunch destination all under one roof, creating a multifaceted experience centered on artisanal roasting. Fabry sources his green beans through direct trade channels, prioritizing traceable single origins that tell a story of their terroir. Each batch is roasted on site with careful attention to preserving the distinct characteristics of its origin. The result is a neighborhood institution where the aroma of fresh roasting mingles with the energy of a bustling Parisian café.
