This coffee is a single-origin offering from the Alo Main Station in the Sidama, Bensa region of Ethiopia. Grown at an altitude between 1,800 and 2,300 meters, this 74158 variety coffee undergoes a slow-dry natural process. This prolonged drying method allows the beans to absorb more sugars from the fruit, resulting in a light-roasted, fruit-forward cup with aromatic notes of yellow peach, mango, roselle, and floral characteristics.
Ghostbird Coffee was founded by Thomas Ooi in Kuala Lumpur in 2015 with a mission to advance specialty coffee culture in Malaysia. Ooi built the roastery around a Giesen W6A drum roaster, roasting fresh daily and resting all beans for three days before dispatch to ensure peak flavor. The company serves as both a roaster and an educational hub, offering public cuppings and coffee appreciation classes that have earned it a reputation as a school of specialty coffee. Ghostbird is a founding partner of the Good Coffee Festival and has hosted the Malaysia AeroPress Championship since 2023. Single origin offerings and espresso blends are developed with an emphasis on responsible sourcing and transparency.
