Red Honey

About This Coffee

This coffee is from the Sidama region of Ethiopia, grown by smallholder farmers at Faficho Bombe between 2100 and 2200 meters altitude. It features heirloom and landrace varieties processed using the Red Honey method at Basha Bekele's Bombe washing station. Approximately 500 local farmers contribute ripe cherries which are floated for selection. The Red Honey process involves leaving generous mucilage on the parchment which dries slowly on raised beds under shade, allowing fruit sugars to caramelize. The cup features rose petal and cherry jelly aromas with pomegranate acidity and cocoa notes, offering a balance between delicacy and intensity with layered sweetness and woven floral characteristics.

Escape Coffee Company

David Boucher co founded Escape Coffee in 2018 in Montreal after two years of traveling the world in search of more meaningful work, and the name reflects coffee as a moment of escape to visualize and get energized. Every product is certified carbon neutral, and all Montreal Island deliveries are made electrically using a Tesla Model Y with trailer attachment. The roastery organizes its coffees into four distinct series: Limited for rare micro lots, Bright for light roasts suited to both espresso and filter, Warm for medium bodied comfort cups, and Dark for those who like it bold. Origins span Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Haiti, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Nicaragua, and Tanzania, with flavor profiles that venture into territory like rose petal pomegranate and Thai basil dune pepper. A dedicated team member manages social and environmental responsibilities within the company, and the founding values are ordered plainly: planet first, humans second, profit last.
