This coffee comes from the Arbegona district in the Sidama zone of Ethiopia, farmed at 2200 to 2400 meters altitude. It features variety 74158 processed by the washed method with wet fermentation and drying on raised beds. The flavor profile includes apricot, honey, nectarine, lychee, and peach notes with a juicy light body and mid-high acidity.
Coffea Circulor emerged from its founders' work with the United Nations environmental branch in Arendal, after witnessing coffee farmers in Kenya being paid merely $0.70/kg for green coffee. Initially roasting on a lighthouse island named Store Torungen, nowadays the company operates onshore as a multi-award winning producer, roaster, and research lab.
