This organic micro-lot coffee comes from the Ayla washing station in the Sidama region of Ethiopia, situated at an altitude of 1950-2150 meters. Produced by Faysel Abdosh Yonis and 725 local smallholders, this coffee features the 74110 and 74158 varieties. It undergoes a fully washed process, resulting in a clean cup with a soft mouthfeel. The flavor profile is delicate and complex, characterized by notes of honeysuckle, watermelon, white peach, yuzu, chamomile, and jasmine.
A two-person operation out of Orange County, Second Spin takes its name from a now-closed local vinyl shop, hence the record-store language throughout: "Coffee Playlist" for the regular lineup, "Limited 66" for small-batch drops, "Classics" for everyday staples. The founders spent fifteen years as baristas, managers, and roasters before launching their own roastery, with an emphasis on farmer-direct sourcing and experimental processing. Current offerings lean heavily into anaerobic fermentation and thermal shock lots from Colombian producers. The approach is light-roasted, fruit-forward, priced to stay accessible.
