This single-origin coffee from Ethiopia is sourced as a pooled lot from smallholders delivering to Aricha washing station. It comes from the Yirgacheffe region, using heirloom varietals, grown at 1900–2000 meters, and processed via washed method. Tasting notes include persimmon, vanilla, and honey, with subtle citrus florals and lemon balm in the cup.
Run by a small group of friends and family in Victoria, British Columbia, Bows Coffee Roasters centers its work around direct trade relationships with producers, particularly in Guatemala. Their Torch Song cafe in downtown Victoria and a dedicated roastery on Garbally Road provide two distinct spaces for the community to engage with their coffee. Ethical sourcing and support for vulnerable farming communities are core to the business, not just marketing language. Rotating single origins and precision roasting ensure that each release reflects both the producers' hard work and the team's dedication to craft.
