This single-origin coffee is sourced from the Gedeo Zone in the Sidamo region of Southern Ethiopia, grown at an altitude of 1700–2000 meters. It consists of Ethiopian heirloom cultivars processed using the natural, sun-dried method on raised beds and decaffeinated via the Swiss Water Process. The flavor profile is warm and sweet, featuring notes of cocoa powder, caramel, hazelnut, dried cherry, chocolate, and molasses. It has a medium body and moderate acidity.
Carol and Eric Blanchet established Talking Crow Coffee Roasters in 2017 in Springdale, Arkansas. The roastery specializes in single origin specialty decaf coffees, sourced exclusively through the Swiss Water Process from Guatemala, Colombia, Mexico, and Brazil, with every lot third party certified mold free. They roast on an electric fluid bed roaster, a technology chosen to minimize carbon emissions compared to traditional drum roasters. All coffee is roasted to order in small batches Monday through Friday, with nothing more than a week off roast. Both Carol and Eric hold SCA Roaster Level 1 certification. The business is independently and women owned.
