About This Coffee

Location:_Ethiopia, LimuVarietal: Ethiopian Landraces_Process:_Natural_Cup Notes: Nectarine, Apricot, Chocolate Berries This natural from Damtew Hailu is so easy to enjoy -- bright nectarines, juicy stone fruits, and a wonderful_milk chocolate berry note that lingers. This versatile offering can be enjoyed hot, iced, and as espresso. Damtew Hailu began farming coffee in 2003 on just one hectare in the village of Ganjichalla, Gera, selling his cherry to the HGQM cooperative in nearby Chala. He expanded to four hectares in 2007, still selling through the cooperative, before taking the leap to sell directly into the central market in 2015. Two years later, in 2017, he entered the export market for the first time. By 2018, Damtew's farm had grown to 11 hectares, alongside a thriving apiary he tends as well. Through all of that growth, he's stayed committed to natural processing. He and his wife live on the farm with their two daughters and one son.

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.
