Onyx Coffee Lab "Ethiopia Worka" Light Roasted Whole Bean Coffee - 12 Ounce Bag

Description

You may hear a subtle wave of exuberance as this coffee hits the shelves. A personal favorite from our roastery, this washed coffee from Ethiopia exhibits one of our favorite profiles. It’s extremely clean and silky in texture. It animates complex Earl Grey like tea and bergamot notes. Subtle sweet lemon, blueberry and cocoa are also present in the flavor of the cup. This is our third year to carry coffee from this mill and we are excited about the solace it brings. This coffee’s journey began in an unlikely place, Minnesota. Negusse Debela visited a specialty coffee cafe and had a revelation over how diverse and sweet a cup of coffee can be. From this moment, Negusse began to explore coffee back home in the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia. He experienced the tradition of growing and processing coffee, and understood how to improve and move coffee forward in his home. From this journey, SNAP specialty coffee was established in 2008, aiming to supply high-end specialty coffee, facilitating a similar experience that Neguesse had in Minnesota years ago. From its wetmill in Gedeb, SNAP works with 486 smallholder producers to produce complex and floral coffees that are outstanding examples of what Yirgacheffe coffees can be. SNAP operates in Gedeb with their vertically integrated Veer Trading Company. The work that is put into processing these coffees is upheld by their dry mill in Addis Ababa. After each harvest these coffees are sorted by screen size, as well as density. This focus on processing and milling produces extremely stable and delicious coffee each season.
