Arabica (Coffea arabica)
Arabica accounts for 60% of global coffee production and virtually all specialty coffee. Here is what separates it from Robusta — genetics, altitude, and cup character.
Espresso
Espresso forces near-boiling water through finely ground coffee at 9 bars of pressure — producing concentrated, crema-topped shots in 25 to 30 seconds.
Ethiopia
The birthplace of Arabica and still its most genetically diverse origin — Ethiopia produces florals, berries, and citrus from thousands of heirloom varieties across its highlands.
Ethiopia — Yirgacheffe
Yirgacheffe sits within the birthplace of coffee and produces some of the most aromatic washed coffees on earth — jasmine, lemon, bergamot, and peach at altitude.
Gesha (Geisha)
Gesha is the most celebrated variety in specialty coffee — tracing its origins to Ethiopia, then Panama, where it stunned the world with jasmine florals and bergamot complexity.
