Silver Monk

Natural, Anaerobic Natural & Anaerobic Honey
Ethiopian Heirloom Blend

Silver Monk brings together two of our longest-standing relationships in Ethiopia: Seife Tuuloskorpi and Faysel Abdosh, both familiar names from our core single origin lineup. Seife, an Ethiopian-born, Swedish-raised importer, first introduced us to Ethiopia. He holds everyone, himself included, to exacting standards and will spend twelve-hour days on brutal roads in search of a washing station worth the trip. Through years of wrong turns and breakdowns, “We will find the way” became our shared refrain.

Faysel founded Testi Coffee to produce specialty coffee exclusively, the coffee he loves to drink. His pursuit of quality has yielded some of our favorite Ethiopian coffees, and he’s equally committed to projects that improve the lives of the people he works with.

This blend combines natural, anaerobic natural, and anaerobic honey lots. Drying whole cherries builds ripe fruit character, sealed anaerobic fermentation adds intensity and complexity, and the honey process contributes sweetness and body. The result is a citric, fruity, and creamy cup.
