The First Light

Tasting Notes: Strawberry, Peach

The Quintessential Ethiopian Coffee!

From the Guji region of Ethiopia, where the highlands awaken with the sun's first rays, comes a coffee of ethereal grace and vibrant flavor. First Light is a testament to an affair between nature and craft, born from the Natural process, a method that allows the coffee cherry to dry whole on raised beds. This symbiotic relationship between bean and fruit imbues the coffee with an unparalleled depth and sweetness.

Scientifically, this process facilitates the transfer of sugars and complex aromatic compounds from the fruit's mucilage directly into the coffee bean. The result is a cup that sings with the delicate, nuanced profiles of its journey. Upon the first sip, a celestial chorus of bright, sun-ripened peach and sweet strawberry unfolds on the palate, a direct reflection of the meticulous fermentation and drying process. It's an astronomical marvel of flavor, a truly magical journey from soil to soul.

Perfect for cozy mornings or crisp afternoons, our First Light offers a delightful departure from the ordinary.
