Factoid: Kore is a village in the district Kochere. The larger region encompassing this district is Yirgacheffe. In the past few years coffee here has become much more traceable. Due to recently made political allowances, importers can now trace Ethiopian coffees to the wash station where the beans are processed. Each farm averages about two or three acres, so it literally takes a village to create a full crop. This sparkling berry brew is sure to transport you to the country that coffee was born.

Factoid: This selection comes from the microregion Cauca, Colombia. The sourcing program for this origin is designed to reward growers with higher prices for higher quality beans. In order to qualify for higher pricing, a farmer has to have well maintained infrastructure, hand-picked beans, and an overall healthy crop. Cauca is known for its citric acidity and creamy mouthfeel, which comes through in this regional selection.
