Sweet Cherry Pie in Your Mug

Ethiopia is famously the "birthplace of coffee", where coffee plants grow wild throughout the lush, green highlands. Yirgacheffe is its most famous growing region, synonymous with quality beans and big flavors. Natural processing, where the freshly-picked beans are spread out to dry in the sun, has always been the traditional means of processing coffee, because it requires less water than wet processing. When done right, naturally processed beans retain a ton of fruit flavor, and often carry a pleasant wine-like acidity. They can be punchy and very sweet, with a heavy body and a syrupy, honey-like texture. With its big body, juicy flavors, and spiced cocoa undertones, this sweet roast is all of the above… with a cherry on top!

Ethiopian Banko Dhadhato is roasted by Maine Hofius, one of Seattle’s few independent women roasters. A coffee roaster and pie-baker, Maine handcrafts the perfect fruity Ethiopian brew.
