Origin Story

Ismael Hassen Aredo (Ethiopia)
Koperasi Ketiara (Sumatra)

CAF Blend is built around a pair of coffees from Ethiopia. The first is a natural processed coffee from the Sidama growing region that gives the blend its classic fruit-forward character. The second is a vibrant, fully-washed coffee that adds brightness and subtle floral notes. We complete the blend with a coffee from the Ketiara Cooperative in the Gayo Mountain region of Sumatra’s Aceh Province. Our coffee, affectionately known as Queen Ketiara, is grown by the group’s women producers. This rich and full bodied coffee balances out the other more nuanced components to create a complex and smooth blend with just the right amount of fruit presence.

Why We Love This Coffee

As a medium roast CAF Blend is dark enough to stand up to milk, but not so dark as to hide the inherent flavor qualities of the blend’s component coffees. The two Ethiopian coffees contribute fruity and floral characteristics while the Sumatra adds depth and body.
