The Divine Details
The Sensory Sacraments
The Sacred Soil of Coffee.
Ethiopia isn't just a coffee origin, it's the origin. Revered as the birthplace of coffee, its lush highlands gave rise to the bean that now fuels the world. In the Guji region, where volcanic soil meets ancient tradition, coffee grows wild, complex, and full of soul. This isn't just a drink, it's a sacred ritual with roots as deep as time.
Legend says a goat herder named Kaldi discovered coffee after noticing his goats dancing from the energy of wild coffee cherries. Ethiopia still holds thousands of heirloom coffee varietals, more than anywhere else in the world, and its coffee ceremonies remain deeply spiritual, often lasting hours as an expression of hospitality, respect, and connection.
This particular lot comes from Suke Quto Farm, founded by Ato Tesfaye Bekele, one of the people who put Guji specialty coffee on the map in a region once dominated by cattle farming. "I don't consider myself to be a coffee farmer," he says, "because coffee is everything to me. All my time and energy are placed into the beans that I harvest and process." Roasted light to bring out everything this heirloom has to offer.
"I don't consider myself to be a coffee farmer, because coffee is everything to me."
