This coffee is a single-origin lot from the Danche region in Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia, grown by smallholder farmers at an altitude of 1,950 to 2,200 meters. It consists of mixed heirloom and Ethiopian landrace varieties, including Kurume, Dega, and Wolisho. The coffee is processed using the red honey method, which involves a 48-hour fermentation followed by drying with a layer of mucilage. The resulting cup is rounded and sweet, featuring distinct tasting notes of rose, peach, and dates.
Coming out of Sydney, Stitch is the brainchild of Nawar Adra, who manages to treat coffee like an art form. You’ll spot their bags instantly because of the wild, Japanese-inspired origami art. They make choosing really easy by categorizing roasts based on your routine, whether you need a punchy blend for your morning latte or a delicate single origin for a pour-over. It’s a perfect example of the Australian coffee vibe: incredibly high standards, but super chill and fun to engage with.
