Guest Espresso – Koke Co-op
“Koke is a small town in the sub region of Yirga Cheffe called Gedeo, in southern Ethiopia. Unlike the arid landscape of North Western Ethiopia, Yirga Cheffe is lush and green with plenty of water. These conditions contribute to the clean, floral and vibrant characteristics of the coffee.
The mill is owned and operated by Solomon Worku. Koke won first place in a competition hosted by the East African Fine Coffee Association in 2007 and third in 2008. The cooperative has 490 members, and producers have an average farm size of 1 hectare.

Coffee Chronicles: Coffee Cupping for the Lonely at Cafe Grumpy
“My tasting notes soared above and beyond my usual flavor creativity. The Panamanian smelled like ripe tomatoes, and on first sip, reminded me of a bowl of Fruit Loops. The Guatemalan was full bodied and lingered in my mouth well after; it recalled biting into a chocolate-covered grape. The El Salvador mellowed out my overactive taste buds, providing a balanced cup of joe, which got more complex and brighter as it cooled.”

Finca Chichupac
Candy apple aroma leads to a full-bodied cup. Granny smith apple brightness rounded out by caramelized brown sugar sweetness.
Autumn we love you.
