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.
