"A certified-organic roaster based in Durham, it imports beans from three Ethiopian cooperatives and highlights lots like the Haru co-op in Yirgacheffe, which experiments with wash processes and fermentation to produce a bright, lemony coffee with jasmine notes. The company also runs public-facing training centers—opening for free specialty coffee tastings on Friday mornings—to educate consumers and showcase these single-origin flavors." - Jessica Silber
