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.

The people behind this coffee
Meet Coffee Cycle Roasting
Coffee Cycle Roasting is a San Diego roaster founded by Chris O'Brien, who started the business in the mid-2010s as a pedal-powered coffee cart before opening a cafe in Pacific Beach. The company moved into roasting during the pandemic and opened a larger roastery and cafe in Ocean Beach in late 2024, where O'Brien roasts on a 5-kilo Mill City machine. Its Honduras Geisha E-F by Pedro Turcios scored 96 points from Coffee Review in November 2025 and ranked No. 9 on Coffee Review's Top 50 Coffees of 2025, and its Colombia Nestor Lasso El Diviso DF Caturra earned 95 points in February 2026. The menu mixes a sweet, washed house coffee with experimental Colombian lots and Ethiopian naturals, all roasted to order on Mondays. That range and the low per-bag prices make it an easy way to taste competition-level processing at home without paying competition-level money.
