Goro Bedessa — Guji Zone, Ethiopia
Bright, playful, unforgettable. Our Goro Bedessa is a natural-process gem from Ethiopia’s Guji Zone that turns every cup into a tiny tropical vacation. Think ripe guava and sun-warmed passion fruit leading the charge, with a soft ribbon of honey sweetness that keeps things cozy and comforting. It’s fruit-forward and juicy, yet rounded and familiar — like sneaking into your grandma’s kitchen on a summer afternoon and discovering a bowl of fresh tropical fruits waiting just for you.
Why you’ll love it
Flavor-forward: sparkling guava and passion fruit notes that sing.
Balanced sweetness: a delicate honey-like finish that lingers.
Nostalgic comfort: bright tropics with a warm, homey aftertaste.
Staff favorite: consistently wins smiles and second cups.
Brew it to highlight the fruit — pour-over or Aeropress brings out the floral acidity and clarity, while a slightly darker roast or a fuller immersion brew brings out the honeyed body. Ideal for lovers of juicy, vibrant naturals who also crave a familiar, heartwarming finish.
Grab a bag and taste why Goro Bedessa is the cup that keeps the team coming back — tropical joy with a hug at the end.
Our Tasting notes: guava, passion fruit, & honey.

Southern Classic
-
The Southern Classic Blend is the deepest roast profile we offer. It consists of a blend of 50% Colombia and 50% Ethiopia. Great for sweet, complex and vibrant espresso shots and deep notes of dark chocolate, molasses, dried fruit with a creamy/syrupy mouthfeel when brewing at home.
Tasting notes: dark chocolate, molasses, & stone fruit
Oconee Blend
-
This harmonious blend consists of a Colombian and two Ethiopian coffees. The result is a very syrupy, vibrantly sweet, and a satisfying smooth cup. This roast profile is our medium roast profile, ideal for cold-brew and excellent for drip-brew. This house blend is super approachable and a crowd-pleaser.
Tasting notes: brownie, toffee, berries
Decaf - Huila, Colombia
-
This is natural process that utilizes a solvent of ethyl acetate, derived from fermented sugar. The process works by soaking green coffee in a solution of E.A., which bonds to the salts of chlorogenic acid in the coffee and allows for the removal of caffeine. The coffee is removed from the solvent and steamed at low pressure to remove the E.A. compounds, and the finished product retains its flavor integrity but contains almost no caffeine at all.

Tasting notes, you will love the rich chocolate cake, raisin, and maple syrup flavors. Super clean and smooth mouthfeel. This decaf is a great partner with desserts after evening supper.
