This coffee is a single-origin lot from the Bombe area in the Bensa district of the Sidama Zone, Ethiopia. Grown by smallholder farmers at high altitudes between 1,900 and 2,400 meters, it consists of mixed Ethiopian heirloom varieties. The coffee is processed using an anaerobic natural method, where cherries undergo controlled fermentation in oxygen-limited tanks before being dried on raised beds. This process results in a complex flavor profile featuring notes of papaya, bergamot, and dark chocolate.
Good Life Coffee Roasters grew from a Helsinki café venture that Lauri Pipinen opened in 2012, eventually establishing the dedicated roastery in 2014. Lauri, a three time Finnish barista champion, brings championship pedigree to the operation and has competed in the World Coffee Championships representing Finland. The roastery's philosophy is straightforward and unpretentious: source and roast coffee that is fresh, tasty, and easy to drink. Over the years, the roastery has evolved from a small neighborhood café into an award-winning operation, earning the title of Best Roaster at the Nordic Coffee Fest in 2024.
