About coffee from Ethiopia
Ethiopia is where arabica coffee comes from, and it still grows thousands of local heirloom varieties. Most of it is grown by smallholder farmers in regions like Yirgacheffe, Sidama and Guji. Washed Ethiopians are known for floral, citrus and tea-like flavors, and naturals for ripe berry.
What the process means
In a natural (dry) process, the whole coffee cherry dries in the sun with the fruit still on the bean. That usually gives a heavier body and riper, fruitier flavors like berry and tropical fruit.

Meet Wonderstate Coffee
Wonderstate Coffee is a specialty roaster in Viroqua, Wisconsin, founded in 2005 by Denise and TJ Semanchin and Caleb Nicholes. It was called Kickapoo Coffee until 2020, when the owners changed the name out of respect for the Kickapoo people the local river valley is named for. In 2015 it became the first traditional coffee roastery in the US powered by an on-site solar array. Wonderstate buys much of its coffee through long-term relationships with farmers and cooperatives and roasts organic blends alongside single-origin lots, including blueberry-forward Ethiopian naturals.
