About This Coffee

This is a naturally processed Ethiopian coffee from the Bensa region, produced by Bekele Belachow, a leading producer and organizer among independent smallholder farmers. The coffee is sourced from Bekele's Bombe and Kokose farms, where cherry is collected from smallholders. The heirloom varietal (74158) is carefully processed with expansive shaded drying areas designed to protect delicate natural fermentations. The coffee features flavor notes of blackberry, white florals, and chocolate berries, reflecting both innovation and tradition in Bensa's coffee production.

Haan Coffee

Hong Shin, Suzie Shin, and Kenneth Kuk opened Haan in Orlando, Florida in late 2022, bringing Korean coffee traditions to the American South. The name, from the Korean word han (한), signals a search for identity, and the space reflects that: built in shelves lined with pottery and art, natural materials, and a geometry drawn from Korean architectural practice. Roasting happens twice weekly on a small 2.5 kilo Diedrich, with each coffee's origin dictating its profile. The drink menu draws on Korean cafe culture, including a Seoul Iced Coffee modeled on the classic dabang style and a SuJungGwa Latte inspired by a traditional Korean dessert tea. Suzie Shin's artwork lines the walls, and the operation runs plastic free with reusable tableware. Every drink is priced under six dollars.
