ETHIOPIA
Medium Roast
Bright. Fruity. Complex. Distinctively Ethiopian.
Celebrating the bright, complex, and expressive character of Ethiopian coffee—one harvest at a time.
Widely recognized as the birthplace of coffee, Ethiopia produces some of the world's most distinctive and celebrated coffees. Known for their vibrant fruit notes, floral aromas, and remarkable complexity, Ethiopian coffees offer a tasting experience unlike almost any other growing region.
At Brass Coffee Roasters, our Ethiopia Origins coffee celebrates these unique characteristics. We carefully select green coffees that showcase the natural brightness, layered flavors, and aromatic qualities for which Ethiopia is renowned.
Roasted to a medium level, our approach is designed to preserve the coffee's lively character while developing sweetness, balance, and a smooth, satisfying body. The result is an expressive and approachable coffee that reveals new dimensions with every sip.
A World of Flavor in Every Cup
Ethiopia's diverse growing regions, high elevations, and rich coffee-growing traditions produce an extraordinary range of flavor profiles.
Depending on the region, variety, and processing method, Ethiopian coffees can offer notes of blueberry, strawberry, peach, citrus, and delicate florals such as jasmine. Some exhibit a tea-like elegance and crisp acidity, while others deliver a fuller body, pronounced berry sweetness, and a lingering, fruit-forward finish.
Much of this diversity comes from Ethiopia's indigenous coffee varieties and traditional processing methods.
Naturally processed coffees, dried with the fruit still surrounding the seed, often develop intense berry flavors, pronounced sweetness, and a rich, sometimes wine-like complexity.
Washed coffees, which have the fruit removed before drying, frequently highlight floral aromatics, citrus brightness, and a clean, delicate finish.
These contrasting characteristics make Ethiopian coffee especially fascinating. Even coffees grown in neighboring regions can deliver remarkably different experiences.
Guided by the Harvest
Coffee is a seasonal agricultural crop, and each harvest brings its own unique qualities.
Our Ethiopia Origins offering may feature coffees from celebrated growing regions such as Yirgacheffe, Sidama, Guji, and Limu, depending on seasonal availability, quality, and the characteristics of each harvest.
Rather than committing to one farm, region, or processing method year-round, we seek out exceptional Ethiopian green coffees that represent the diversity and distinctive character of the country's coffee-growing traditions.
As our selections change, the specific tasting notes may evolve. One harvest might emphasize blueberry sweetness and a rich, fruit-forward body, while another may highlight jasmine, citrus, and a delicate tea-like finish.
The coffees may change. Our commitment to showcasing Ethiopia's extraordinary flavors remains.
Thoughtfully Roasted in Small Batches
At Brass Coffee Roasters, we believe exceptional coffee deserves a thoughtful approach to roasting.
Our Ethiopian coffees are roasted in small batches in Burlingame, California, with an emphasis on preserving their natural complexity and highlighting the qualities that make each selection distinctive.
Unlike our darker, more full-bodied blends, our medium-roast Ethiopia offering is designed to allow the coffee's fruit character, floral aromatics, and natural sweetness to shine.
We aim for a balanced cup that is vibrant without being overly sharp, sweet without being heavy, and complex without sacrificing drinkability.
Whether enjoyed as a carefully prepared pour-over, a traditional drip coffee, or a refreshing cold brew, our Ethiopia Origins coffee invites you to explore one of the world's most remarkable coffee-growing countries.

SIGNATURE BLEND
Medium-Dark Roast
Bold. Rich. Balanced. Crafted for Every Day.
Our Signature Blend represents everything we believe a great cup of coffee should be—rich in flavor, smooth in character, and satisfying from the first sip to the last.
Created for those who appreciate a bold, full-bodied coffee without excessive bitterness, our Signature Blend brings together carefully selected coffees from Ethiopia, Papua New Guinea, and Guatemala. Each origin contributes its own distinctive qualities, creating layers of deep chocolate, caramel sweetness, subtle complexity, and a smooth, lingering finish.
Roasted to a medium-dark level, this blend strikes a balance between the natural character of the coffee beans and the richness developed through thoughtful roasting. The result is a flavorful, approachable coffee with depth and complexity, designed to be enjoyed every day.
Three Origins. One Signature.
At the heart of our Signature Blend are three of our favorite coffee-growing origins: Ethiopia, Papua New Guinea, and Guatemala.
Each brings something distinctive to the cup.
Ethiopian coffees contribute aromatic complexity, natural sweetness, and subtle fruit notes that add dimension to the blend. Coffees from Papua New Guinea provide richness, body, and deep chocolate characteristics, while Guatemalan coffees offer caramel sweetness, cocoa notes, and a balanced finish.
Together, these three origins form the foundation of our Signature Blend. We carefully select coffees that complement one another, building a harmonious balance of flavor, sweetness, and body.
Our goal is not to create the darkest or strongest-tasting coffee, but one that delivers bold flavor, satisfying richness, and exceptional balance.
A coffee that is robust without being harsh, smooth without being bland, and complex without becoming overwhelming.
Three distinctive origins. One unmistakable signature.
Crafted for Consistency, Guided by the Harvest
Coffee is an agricultural crop, and the quality and availability of green coffee naturally change throughout the year. Different growing regions experience different harvest seasons, and each new crop brings subtle variations in flavor and character.
While we strive to maintain Ethiopia, Papua New Guinea, and Guatemala as the foundation of our Signature Blend, the individual coffees we select may change with each harvest. We may also make occasional adjustments when seasonal availability or quality calls for a different approach.
Rather than simply following a fixed recipe, we carefully evaluate each coffee for the characteristics it contributes to the finished blend.
Unlike our Origins Collection, which celebrates the distinctive qualities of individual growing regions, our Signature Blend is built around a consistent flavor experience.
The harvests may change. The signature remains.
Every batch is crafted with the same goal: a rich, balanced, and deeply satisfying cup of coffee.
Thoughtfully Roasted in Small Batches
At Brass Coffee Roasters, we believe exceptional coffee begins with high-quality green beans and a thoughtful approach to roasting.

We aim to develop richness without introducing the smoky, burnt, or excessively bitter flavors often associated with darker roasts.
The result is a coffee with a full, satisfying body, a smooth texture, and a lingering finish that invites another sip.

Some coffees are made for special occasions. Our Signature Blend is crafted to make every day feel a little more special.

NIGHT MARKET
Asia-Pacific Blend | Medium-Dark Roast
Bold. Rich. Smooth. Inspired by Asia.
Inspired by the vibrant night markets of Asia, where rich aromas, bold flavors, and diverse cultures come together, Night Market is our interpretation of the distinctive coffees grown throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
This medium-dark roast brings together carefully selected coffees from across Asia and the Pacific, creating a blend with deep chocolate notes, warm spice, subtle earthiness, and a rich, satisfying body. Roasted to emphasize depth and sweetness while maintaining a smooth, balanced finish, Night Market is a coffee with character—bold enough to stand on its own, yet refined enough to enjoy every day.
A Blend That Evolves With the Harvest
Coffee is an agricultural crop, and like any crop, its availability changes with the seasons. Different growing regions harvest at different times of the year, and factors such as weather, growing conditions, and crop quality influence which green coffees are available.
Rather than relying on a fixed recipe year-round, we embrace this natural seasonality.
Night Market draws inspiration from the remarkable diversity of coffees grown throughout Asia and the Pacific. A typical blend may feature beans from Bali, China, Vietnam, Sumatra, Papua New Guinea, and other coffee-growing regions across this vast and diverse part of the world.
Each origin contributes its own distinctive characteristics. Indonesian coffees, including those from Bali and Sumatra, can bring earthy richness, chocolate notes, and a full body. Coffees from Papua New Guinea may contribute sweetness, complexity, and subtle fruit notes, while carefully selected beans from China and Vietnam can add balance, depth, and complementary flavors.
As harvests change and new green coffees become available, we thoughtfully adjust the composition of Night Market, selecting origins that complement one another and contribute to the blend's signature character.
The origins may change. The character of Night Market remains.
Our goal is always the same: a bold, rich, full-bodied coffee with layers of chocolate, warm spice, and a smooth, satisfying finish.
