This coffee is a microlot from smallholder farmers in the Banko Chelchele area of the Gedeb Woreda, Gedeo Zone, Ethiopia. Grown at an altitude of 1950-2300 meters, it consists of 74110 and 74112 cultivars. This coffee undergoes a high-intervention anaerobic natural process, where cherries are co-fermented with fresh lemongrass in carbon fiber drums for 10 days before being sun-dried on raised beds. The flavor profile features notes of green tea, lemongrass, violet, hibiscus, citrusy fountain soda, berry, and a sweet rose finish.

Nick and Charlie started S&W Craft Roasting as avid home roasters and built it into a focused, direct to consumer operation based in Coatesville, Indiana. The roastery is veteran owned and runs exclusively online with no brick and mortar retail, keeping the emphasis squarely on the coffee itself. All production goes through a refurbished 1993 Sasa Samiac drum roaster fitted with Agtron color control systems for precise, repeatable results. The catalog runs deep, with roughly 99 single origin varieties sourced from Ethiopia, India, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Colombia, China, and beyond. Their roasting philosophy prioritizes origin character over roast imprint, with no artificial flavorings, preservatives, or additives.
