This coffee is sourced from the Siko Washing Station in the Uraga Guji region of Ethiopia, where it is grown at an altitude of 2,100–2,250 meters. It is a washed coffee consisting of mixed heirloom varieties. The cup profile is fruit-forward and balanced, featuring notes of citrus, dark cherry, and cream toffee with a long, sweet aftertaste. The coffee is processed through meticulous hand-sorting, fermentation in sealed tanks, and drying on raised beds, resulting in a complex and elegant flavor profile suitable for espresso or bold filter brewing.
Good Life Coffee Roasters grew from a Helsinki café venture that Lauri Pipinen opened in 2012, eventually establishing the dedicated roastery in 2014. Lauri, a three time Finnish barista champion, brings championship pedigree to the operation and has competed in the World Coffee Championships representing Finland. The roastery's philosophy is straightforward and unpretentious: source and roast coffee that is fresh, tasty, and easy to drink. Over the years, the roastery has evolved from a small neighborhood café into an award-winning operation, earning the title of Best Roaster at the Nordic Coffee Fest in 2024.
