Ethiopia Sidama Betibiroti

About This Coffee

This coffee from Sidama, Ethiopia is sourced from Unravel Coffee and processed using an experimental cold carbonic maceration method. Mature coffee cherries are placed in stainless steel containers with clean water and injected with carbon dioxide, then inoculated with local yeast. The coffees are held in carbonic state for 120 hours before being dried on traditional Ethiopian drying beds for 36-40 days. Grown at 1845-1910 meters altitude, the varieties are 74111 and 74112. The processing creates a bright, fruit-forward profile with notes of pineapple, dark chocolate, and red plum with silky body and bright acidity.

Vigilante Coffee

Vigilante Coffee started in 2012 on Chris Vigilante's back porch in Washington, DC, with a used three kilogram Diedrich roaster. From that modest beginning, the company grew into a roasting operation now built around a 12 kilogram Loring, with head roaster Franklin Ventura shaping the roast profiles since 2014. Sourcing is personal: Vigilante visits each coffee producer directly, building multiyear relationships and participating in auctions at origin. The company works with Certified B Corp importers and pursues zero waste across its operations, using compostable bags and recyclable packaging. Vigilante earned the Slow Food DC Snail of Approval, a designation that reflects its commitment to quality, transparency, and responsible production.
