ROASTER NOTES:

Orange, fudge, caramel and cherry, this Red Brick edition celebrates good neighbours. For “Telila” from Jimma and the “Tarrazú Blend,” we crafted bespoke components from neighbours who already collaborated.

Telila comes to us via Addis Exporter, led by Mike Mamo. Exporting since the 1970s, they began processing in 2019 with Telila Washing Station. They’ve since built Atoma Washing Station and created a groundbreaking service model for other farmer-exporters in Jimma, introducing us to the Tokuma Group. This season, we selected four lots from this constellation: three lots processed at Atoma with cherries from farmers in the Tuma Tesso kebele, and one lot grown and processed by Tokuma Group stalwart Mensur Aba Hika. We’ll use these sequentially to showcase subtle variations over the same silky, lightly floral profile.

To create our Tarrazú Blend, we started with a decade-long partner: Luís and Oscar Monge’s La Lía Micromill. To meet additional volume, Luís and exporter Exclusive Coffee recommended Don Oscar Micromill, owned by Alejandro Jiménez. The two micromills are neighbors, and Luís and Alejandro have been friends for years, building their businesses together. Featuring their corresponding white honey lots under the same overarching component felt organic.
