A light roast Ethiopian coffee sourced from partner Tibebu Roba, grown at high altitudes in Yirgacheffe's Chelchele region. The beans are naturally fermented and dried processed, enhancing their fruity and vibrant character. The coffee features vibrant notes of acidic tropical fruits balanced by smooth brown sugar sweetness. Delicate floral nuances add elegance to the profile. Medium body with high acidity creates brightness while maintaining balance. A lingering aftertaste of chocolate and perfumed sweetness provides a satisfying finish. Crafted specifically for filter brewing methods like pour-over, Chemex, or AeroPress.
Cenk Erlevent founded this independent specialty coffee roastery in 2021, bringing his creative background from the photography and film industry to the art of coffee roasting. His multicultural experience across six different cultures infuses each roast with what he describes as "a little bit of Turkish Spice, French Love, Spanish Salsa, Italian Espresso and Swiss Perfectionism." Bean in Progress operates on the philosophy of "go for progress, not perfection," acknowledging that while the best coffee doesn't exist, their beans are always evolving through sustainable sourcing from selected farms in Brazil, Costa Rica, and Rwanda, combined with transparent product declarations that create balance between farmers and customers.
