Sumatran Coffee (Aceh Province and Sipangan Bolon) This coffee is sourced from the most amazing locations, at the very end of Lake Tawar in Aceh province and also near the town of Parapat near Lake Toba. This particular lot has been Triple Picked, which means that the coffee has made its way through a warehouse containing many handsorting tables, each separating defects and low quality green beans from the beautiful/uniform coffee we always look for. This particular coffee has been through the sorting process 3 times (hence triple picked), making it as clean a coffee as you will find from Sumatra. All our Sumatran coffees are directly sourced through a small family export company and our good friend Dody Sayhrum from CV Yudi Putra.

ETHIOPIA (WASHED HEIRLOOM ETHIOPIA) + ETHIOPIA (UNWASHED HEIRLOOM ETHIOPIA) 250g $16 1kg $48 Ethiopia Tade GG (Washed Oromia Shakiso) Tade GG is a beautiful estate in Shakiso, Oromia. The owner, Tesfaye Bekele is a trained Agronomist and processes coffee with care and attention. He grows his own coffee trees as well as buying cherries from local farmers. When processing, lots are separated by the altitude at which the coffee trees have grown. Raised drying beds are covered with a black mesh that allows coffee parchment to dry evenly and slowly. The processed coffee parchment is spread very thinly across this mesh and is mixed often to keep the drying process even. Drying coffee is covered with mesh during the peak heat of the day, which prevents the parchment from cracking due to rapid heating. Everything about this estate screams quality. ARTISAN COFFEE ROASTERS Ethiopia Wonberta (Unwashed Oromia Guji zone Sarisaba Kercha) Wonberta farm has consistently produced outstanding coffee. The cherries are bought from local markets as well as grown on their own farm. These cherries are picked ripe and left out to dry on raised drying beds. The coffee is spread out very sparingly to allow sufficient airflow between and around the cherries. The cherries are also covered with a shade cloth during the hottest part of the day, to keep the coffee from overheating. As the entire coffee fruit is left in tact, the coffee can easily taste fermenty if drying isn t conducted in the correct way. The high altitude of the drying station makes for a more even drying due to the cool conditions, which allow these fruit flavours to shine through without taint.

7 SITIO DO CRUZ BRAZIL Fragrance: Chocolate Nuts Creamy Aroma: Chocolate Nuts Creamy Sweet Flavour: Nuts Cocoa Blackberry VARIETAL: YELLOW BOURBON PROCESSING: NATURAL 250g $19 1kg $57 COFFEEBIRD.COM.AU This farm is situated in the South of Minas Gerais in an area called Carmo de Minas. This beautifully processed natural coffee has been hand picked, which is extremely rare for Brazillian coffee. Once the coffee is picked, the cherries are spread across patios where moisture levels are monitored. Once the predetermined moisture level has been reached, the coffee goes into mechanical rotary driers to complete the process accurately. Once drying is complete, the coffee cherries can be hulled, which removes the outer fruit layer of the coffee. The parchment layer is still intact, which protects the green bean inside it. The parchment covered coffee is stored at altitude until it is ready for export, when it is milled on the spot.
