This Ethiopian coffee is from the Hambela Buliye region. It is processed using the dry process method and roasted to a medium (full city) roast level. The flavor profile features rustic fruit notes of plum, strawberry-rhubarb, and dried apricot with bittersweet chocolate undertones. The full-bodied cup includes earthy cocoa and faint floral hints with berry notes.
Swell Cup Coffee Co. was founded in 2017 in the Ocean Beach neighborhood of San Diego. They roast on a one kilo Giesen, keeping production intentionally small and focused on light to medium profiles that let each origin's character come through. Sourcing runs through established importers including Royal Coffee, with a focus on single origin coffees from Africa and Central America. The branding draws on the surf culture and coastal identity of Ocean Beach, and the operation includes a pour over bar with rotating selections alongside the roasting.
