Colipse Ethiopian coffee beans are a medium-light roast single-origin Arabica coffee from the Sidamo region with bright acidity and sweet caramel, vanilla, and berries notes. These beans originate from small, privately owned farms, or 'gardens,' in the Oromia zone. They grow at altitudes of 2,000–2,200 meters. Beans are carefully handpicked from wild and farmed varieties and are dry-processed.

Dry-processed Ethiopian beans rank among the world’s best for their floral, fruity, and complex flavor profiles. Because these beans are dried with the fruit, they develop even greater sweetness and a richer flavor.

This coffee is freshly roasted to order in small batches and packaged in 12 oz, 16 oz, 2 lb, or 5 lb in either whole bean or pre-ground. Both Ethiopian ground and whole bean coffee are ideal for black coffee, especially when brewed using specialty methods like filter coffee, Chemex, and AeroPress. Purchase Colipse Ethiopian coffee beans for a taste of one of the world's finest coffees.
