Tulise Natural, Ethiopia

About This Coffee

This coffee is sourced from the Tulise washing station in the Tulise kebele, located 18 km east of Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia. Owned by Hirut Gute, the station processes cherries from approximately 500 local smallholder farmers. This natural-processed coffee is dried on raised beds, where cherries are hand-sorted and turned throughout the day to ensure even drying. The process typically takes 15-20 days depending on weather conditions, resulting in a high-quality microlot.

Highwire Coffee Roasters

Highwire Coffee Roasters was founded in 2011 in the East Bay by Rich Avella, Eric Hashimoto, and Robert Myers, three friends who connected in the mid 1990s over shared values around coffee and community. The roastery operates out of Emeryville, California, with multiple cafés across Oakland, Alameda, Albany, and Walnut Creek. Highwire roasts and ships on the same day to ensure peak freshness, offering a range from light, bright single origins to deeper, chocolatey darker roasts. Sourcing prioritizes the freshest green coffees available in any given season, and the team builds direct relationships with producers who share their focus on quality and sustainability. The company describes its approach as approachable excellence, a philosophy that extends from the coffee itself to the neighborhood feel of each location.
