Misty Valley - Ethiopia

Tasting Notes: Blueberry, chocolate, lemonade, peach, hibiscus

Process: Natural

Region: Yirgacheffe

Varietal: Heirloom

Elevation: 1750-2000m

Misty Valley is everything you’d expect from a natural process coffee grown in the Yirgacheffe region. A fruit forward, blueberry-rich flavor, and bright acidity are balanced by a full body and clean finish. We love it for its unique chocolate cheesecake richness to pair with the classic fruit and floral notes typical of Yirgacheffe coffees.

Misty Valley has been a staple of our line up, and a favorite for our customers since we brought it into the lineup in 2012.

Altura - Colombia 

Tasting Notes: toffee, dark chocolate, green grape, sesame

Process: Washed

Region: Nariño

Varietal: Colombia, Castillo, Caturra

Elevation: 2000-2050m

The Nariño region of Colombia is renowned as one of the great coffee regions of the world. Its unique combination of high elevation, plentiful rainfall, and high-quality, volcanic soil, imbues coffee grown here with the potential for great flavor. High elevation coffees tend to have livelier flavor profiles, and this one is no exception—the name Altura (meaning “height” in Spanish) is a nod to its heritage as beans grown in the Andes Mountains. We aim to bring out the full potential of this coffee in the roasting process, developing a flavor profile with exciting sweetness and toffee-like caramel notes, and a rich array of secondary flavors such as dark chocolate, green grape, and sesame to provide a full flavored coffee you’ll be sure to want to return to again and again.

Rugembe Hill stands out with a bright and complex cup. Layers of limeade, persimmon, and lavender balance beautifully with honeydew and molasses sweetness to make this coffee a new favorite.

Rebuilt in 2016 by majority owner Pontien Ntunzwenimana, this state-of-the-art coffee washing station has processed some of the best of what multi-generational coffee farmers in Burundi have to offer. Migoti Coffee’s vision is to see the local coffee-growing community grow in health and economic prosperity, with quality production as one of several entrepreneurial activities underway.

This is our eighth season working with Azahar; all to find some of the best Colombian lots to share. What makes this series special is not just the great coffee, but the great people who work to support its journey from seed to cup.
