This coffee is a community lot from the Shoondhisa kebele in the Guji region of Ethiopia, grown by approximately 35 smallholder farmers at an altitude between 2,000 and 2,150 meters. Processed using the natural method, the cherries are dried whole on raised beds to ensure even moisture loss. This coffee features a flavor profile of dense cooked strawberries, ripe juicy mango, and a lingering citrus zest finish.
Based in Philadelphia, Poem Coffee Roasters operates as a tiny boutique roasting company dedicated to ultra small batch production at the highest level. Their entire production schedule revolves around a single roasting day each week, with all coffees roasted to order exclusively on Tuesdays. This practice allows them to capture seasonally sourced specialty beans that reflect fleeting points in time, creating a limited and intentional coffee experience that celebrates the unique characteristics of each harvest.
