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 Colectivo Coffee
Colectivo Coffee started in 1993 as Alterra Coffee Roasters, founded in a Milwaukee warehouse basement by brothers Lincoln and Ward Fowler and their friend Paul Miller. The company took the Colectivo name in 2013 and still roasts on vintage Probat machines at its Riverwest roastery on Humboldt Boulevard. It runs about 20 cafés in Milwaukee, Madison and the Chicago area, and has bought coffee directly from some farms since the mid-1990s.
