Hyperion Coffee

About This Coffee

This washed coffee is sourced from the Chelbesa washing station in the Gedeb Zone of Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia, at an altitude of 1,950 to 2,200 meters. Produced by smallholder farmers and processed by SNAP Specialty Coffee, the coffee features traditional heirloom varieties Korume and Wolisho. The beans undergo a unique 2-3 day dry fermentation process after depulping, followed by drying on raised beds. This method enhances tropical fruit and herbaceous characteristics, resulting in a flavor profile of lemoncello, blackberry, lilac, and strawberry shortcake.

Hyperion Coffee

Hyperion Coffee is a specialty roastery in Ypsilanti, Michigan, founded in 2015 by Eric Mullins, Dan Kubera and Alex Merz. Named after the Greek Titan of light, the roastery was built on three pillars: relationships, science and education. Kubera roasts on a 10 kilo Ambex, sourcing directly from small independent producers including Ariel Fúnez in Honduras, with every coffee listing varietal, elevation, processing method and farm name. The team cups roughly 30 samples in a single morning session as part of their daily quality routine.
