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.

The people behind this coffee

Meet Stumptown

Stumptown Coffee Roasters opened its first café in Portland, Oregon, in 1999, in a space that used to be a beauty parlor called Hair Bender. The blend named after that shop is still the espresso in every Stumptown café. The company buys much of its coffee through Direct Trade relationships, some going back well over a decade, like its Ethiopia Mordecofe, offered every year since 2006. Stumptown is a certified B Corp, and its single origins usually come in 10.5 oz bags with a named farm, washing station or cooperative behind them.
