The Magic and The magician

The Quintessential Ethiopian Coffee!

Born in Guji, Ethiopia, it is an Heirloom varietal which is Light-Medium roasted to bring out those sweet and summer-like Strawberry and Peach notes.

First Light isn't just coffee; it’s a morning daydream born in the sun-drenched highlands of Guji. Buy light roast coffee to discover these beans were "natural processed"—dried slowly in the open air with their fruit still hugging them—they’ve soaked up every bit of the wild, Ethiopian summer.

With the first sip of these premium fresh medium micro roasted coffee beans, a soft glow of ripe peach breaks through the haze, sweet and fuzzy as a secret. Just behind it, a bright shimmer of strawberry dances on the tongue, leaving a trail of jammy sweetness that lingers like the pink sky of dawn. It’s light, vibrant, and perfectly fleeting.

Our Favorite Brewing Method - Pour Over

It is the gold standard for naturally processed Ethiopian coffees. It acts like a magnifying glass for those fruity flavors.

    Whole beans stay fresh 3-4 months in an airtight container. Make sure to keep them away from light and heat for peak flavor.

    Is First Light a good coffee for someone new to specialty or single-origin coffee?

    Yes, its natural sweetness and low bitterness make it approachable, without the high acidity that can overwhelm beginner palates.

    What does "natural processed" actually mean for this coffee's flavor?

    It means the coffee cherries dry whole, with the fruit still on, letting sugars ferment into the bean, which creates the strawberry-peach sweetness naturally.

    As a fully caffeinated Arabica coffee, it contains standard caffeine levels.

    Which foods or sides pair well with First Light's strawberry-peach notes?
