This single-origin coffee is sourced from the Rumudamo coffee station in the Arbegona region of Ethiopia, grown at an altitude of approximately 2,200 meters. It is a washed process coffee of the 74112 variety. The flavor profile is complex and rich, featuring notes of Granny Smith apple, green tea, green grape, and honey, complemented by a fruit-like acidity.
Boxx Coffee Roasters Co was founded in Istanbul in 2015 by Mert Soley, a former car racer, and Altug Baser, a scientist, before expanding to Los Angeles in 2021 with partner Arda Barlas. The Downtown Arts District roastery and café specialises in light roasted, origin focused coffees with an emphasis on floral, citrus, and fruity notes, sourcing single origin microlots from Bolivia, Congo, Ecuador, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Uganda. A signature offering is Turkish style cezve coffee brewed slowly in the traditional manner, honouring the founders' heritage. The espresso programme runs on a La Marzocco Strada with Mahlkonig Peak grinders, and the team pursues what they call the God Shot philosophy of perfect espresso alignment.
