This coffee is sourced from the Halo Beriti washing station in the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia. It is a specialty Arabica coffee produced by approximately 750 smallholder farmers. This lot undergoes a special preparation process involving repeated hand-sorting to ensure high quality. The flavor profile is fruit-forward and delicate, featuring notes of raspberry, peach, and toffee, balanced by a juicy citric acidity. It is light in body and offers a clear, crisp cup.
Brio Coffeeworks was founded in mid 2014 by Nate and Magdalena Van Dusen and operates as a woman owned specialty roastery in Burlington, Vermont's South End Arts District. The team roasts on a Diedrich IR 12 and follows a roast to order model, shipping or hand delivering within one to two days of production Monday through Friday. Sourcing focuses on small farms through ethical partnerships aligned with sustainability and low impact farming practices. The business is primarily wholesale focused, supplying cafés, restaurants, specialty markets, and co ops, and also serves as an authorised dealer for La Marzocco, Fetco, Mazzer, and Mahlkonig equipment with barista training to Barista Guild of America standards.
