Guji Hadeso

About This Coffee

This coffee is sourced from the Hadeso woreda in the Guji region of Ethiopia. It is produced by various smallholder farmers who hand-pick heirloom landrace varietals at peak ripeness. The coffee is processed at local washing stations, where cherries are pulped and fermented in concrete tanks for 36 to 48 hours before being dried on raised beds. This washed coffee offers a flavor profile featuring notes of blueberry jam, lemon, currant, and black tea.

Ninth Street Espresso

Ken Nye founded this operation in 2001 as Higher Grounds Cafe in New Yorks East Village, establishing a roastery that would become a pioneering force in contemporary espresso culture before adopting the name Ninth Street Espresso in 2003. In 2023, the roastery expanded with a micro roastery in Long Island City, equipped with a Diedrich IR12 roaster that enables greater production capacity. Their primary supplier, Daterra, is a Brazilian coffee producer with whom they have maintained a relationship spanning about ten years, built on shared values around quality and sustainability. A philosophy centered on balance and drinkability shapes every roasting decision, resulting in espresso that emphasizes the coffees inherent sweetness and clarity.
