Ethiopia: Mirado Sidama

About This Coffee

This washed heirloom coffee originates from the Mirado Coffee Processing Station in the Bensa district of Ethiopia. Cultivated by 510 smallholder farmers at altitudes between 1,800 and 2,200 meters, the cherries are processed using traditional washed methods and dried for 12 days. This coffee offers a clean and expressive profile characterized by bright citrus acidity, delicate florals, and tea-like sweetness. Tasting notes include peach, green tea, and lemongrass, resulting in a balanced cup with exceptional clarity and a lingering finish.

Radio Roasters Coffee

Former NPR News producer Chip Grabow founded Radio Roasters Coffee in 2014 in Decatur, Georgia, initially running a delivery only operation while still working full time in broadcast journalism. What started as a side project born from a desire to bring West Coast specialty coffee culture to Atlanta grew into a full production roastery by 2018. Grabow bootstrapped the business from day one, focusing on a tight roster of origins including Ethiopia, Kenya, Guatemala, Colombia, Brazil, and Mexico. The roastery earned a Good Food Award for its Ethiopia Modor Shantawene, a washed coffee from the Sidama region. Grabow passed away unexpectedly in December 2025, leaving behind a roastery built on curiosity, self reliance, and a deep respect for the craft.
