A delicate coffee with floral aromatics, confectionery-like sweetness, and a juicy and fruity complexity.
Founded in 1976, the Layo Teraga cooperative provides a path for local smallholder farmers to gain access to the coffee market. Located in northern Uraga in the Guji zone of Ethiopia, the 1,841 smallholder members of the Layo Teraga cooperative grow coffee in gardens around their homes in semi-forested environments at staggeringly high elevations of 2,342 MASL (meters above sea level).
Farmers pick their ripe cherries and deliver to the Layo Teraga washing station where they are pulped and undergo a single fermentation of just 45 hours. The beans are then spread on raised beds to dry for 12 days before being prepared for export.
We selected this coffee from a tasting kit from our importing partner, Crop to Crop, who's been working with Layo Teraga since 2013. This coffee stood out to us due to it being such an approachable Ethiopian coffee. And we look forward to continuing to source from the Layo Teraga cooperative.

FAQ
We roast to order and ship Monday-Thursday. Orders are usually fulfilled the production day after they are placed (for example, orders placed on Monday will ship on Tuesday). Orders placed Thursday-Sunday will be fulfilled and shipped on Monday.
By you? Yes. By us, sadly, no. Currently, we can only ship whole-bean coffee.
Freshness is critical to fully enjoying coffee. We roast to order to ensure your coffee is at peak freshness when it arrives. Sometimes our shipping partners experience delays due to weather, heightened demand, technical issues, pandemics, or aliens. All of which is out of our hands, except the aliens, but that's not for here.
If your package is delayed, let us know and we'll track it down and escalate its delivery. If it's delayed more than 2 weeks past the shipment date, and your order includes coffee, we'll either refund your money or ship you fresh coffee at no cost.
