Coffee does not simply grow in Ethiopia, it belongs there. It is no surprise, then, that heirloom varieties grown there offer flavors found nowhere else in the world. Within this legendary coffee country, few producers match the Adinew family of METAD for quality and consistency. METAD operates Africa’s first Coffee Quality Institute certified lab, and the skilled teams at its washing stations apply rigorous quality control. Their work helps thousands of smallholders strengthen their farming practices and earn premium prices. This lot comes from smallholder farmers in METAD’s Kirite network in Guji, Oromia. The cup is elegant, with floral aromatics, crisp green apple, and the sweet tanginess of red currants.
Why We're Different
Intelligentsia coffee buyers travel year-round working with a network of farmers. From the farm, coffee arrives at the roasting works in Chicago, where coffee professionals cup, grade, and release over 50 single-origins and blends annually.
