Price not usable
Every price we hold for this coffee works out far outside the believable per kilo range for its own market, or repeats unchanged across different bag sizes, so we will not put a figure to it.
What Kross Coffee Roasters says about this coffee
One of the most impressive Ethiopian coffees we have sourced. An explosion of intensity in aroma and topicality in flavor. An example of where great terroir along with great processing can lead. Immensely sweet and juicy and complex. Enjoy over ice or a wildly warm cup.
The cherries were selected from local farmers surrounding the station, at an altitude of about 2100 masl. After a strict selection the cherries are sealed into airtight tanks equipped with one-way release valves. Microorganisms consume any residual oxygen, and built-up carbon dioxide forces oxygen out through the valves, creating an oxygen-free (anaerobic) environment. Lactic acid bacteria and specialized yeasts thrive without oxygen, breaking down sugars and mucilage inside the whole fruit over 24 to 96 hours. Pressure builds up, which is theorized to push fruit juices and sugars deeper into the bean.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.
How it sits among coffee from Ethiopia
Kross Coffee Roasters describe this coffee as fruity, citrus, floral. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Ethiopia; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Ethiopia, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

A further 2 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
