2 New Coffees: Venezuela and Ethiopia
We’ve just dropped two freshly roasted new coffee beans for your sipping enjoyment!
New Coffee: Venezuela
Venezuelan coffee has quietly been crafting exceptional beans since the 1800s, and this Fine Washed (Lavado Fino) Arabica is the perfect example of its quality. Venezuela’s coffee legacy is rooted in the volcanic soils and cool mountain air of the Andean highlands, where small farms cultivate Arabica using attention to detail and adherence to tradition.
This new coffee is a rare Venezuelan single origin, and it delivers a cup that fans of Colombian coffee will love. It’s bright, balanced and smooth with a clean finish that speaks to its washed preparation.
We’re proud to offer something out of the ordinary with this new coffee that honors both heritage and an exciting future as Venezuelan farmers refine their craft.
Country: Venezuela
Process: Fine Washed (Lavado Fino)
Profile: Smooth, balanced, clean
Perfect for daily enjoyment or when you’re in the mood for something new!
New Coffee: Natural Ethiopia:
Located in the lush, mountainous highlands of southwestern Ethiopia, Limu farmers have been cultivating excellent beans for over 200 years. Grown between 1,400 and 2,200 meters above sea level, Limu’s fertile soils and generous rainfall create ideal conditions for producing new coffee of remarkable balance and depth.
This new coffee features Ethiopia’s famed heirloom varieties, celebrated for their complexity and elegance. In the cup, Limu coffees are beautifully clean and layered, offering gentle sweetness, soft fruit notes and a refined character that appeals to both seasoned coffee lovers and curious newcomers.
As Limu gains recognition on the specialty coffee stage, many local farmers are embracing sustainable and organic practices, ensuring quality, consistency and a bright future for the region. This Ethiopian new coffee is approachable yet deeply expressive and stands as a reminder of why Ethiopia remains the birthplace of coffee.
