Where it comes from

Eva Mettu Station

Illubabor Zone, Ethiopia

Eva Mettu is a washing station in the Illubabor zone of Oromia, Ethiopia, at around 2,000m. Local farmers bring their cherries in during the harvest, often just a few kilos at a time, and every delivery is logged and graded before processing. So the coffee in this bag comes from many small farms, not one estate.

About this coffee

Ethiopia Eva Mettu

What it tastes like

Ripe blackberry up front, then milk chocolate. As an espresso it's deep and rich. As a filter or cafetière it opens up and goes cleaner and more tea-like, with a floral edge.

Why we bought it

It shows how much one coffee can change depending on how you brew it, which is half the fun.

Who grew it

Lots of small farmers. Eva Mettu is a washing station in the Illubabor zone of Oromia, Ethiopia. Local growers bring their cherries in during the harvest, often only a few kilos at a time, and every delivery is logged and graded. The coffee is grown at around 2,000m.

How it was processed

Washed, so the fruit comes off the bean before it dries. That's a big part of why it tastes so clean as a filter. The varieties are Ethiopian landraces, meaning old local types that have grown in the area for generations.

How to brew it

If you only try it one way, make it a pour-over. Then try it as an espresso and see how different it is.
