CROWNS - ETHIOPIA - Tinker Coffee

Tinker CROWNS are the finest, rarest, and most intriguing coffees we've had the good fortune to source.

The crown represents the pinnacle of coffee production. Exemplary coffees like these are exceedingly rare and difficult to produce; these coffees are truly a labor of love.

From experimental processing methods and hard-to-find cultivars, CROWNS showcase the craft of coffee sourcing and roasting and we’re delighted to share them with you. Available in highly limited quantities.

Our first CROWNS offering is the 1st place winning lot from the 2021 Ethiopia Cup of Excellence Competition: an anaerobic naturally processed lot from Tamiru Tadesse Tesema.

Tamiru works together with a cohort of about 200 farmers in Sidama to collect only the finest and ripest cherries for processing. These coffees are either anaerobically or naturally processed before drying on raised beds.

The coffee quality in Ethiopia is widely considered to be among the best in the world, which makes the competition in the Cup of Excellence exceptionally strong. It goes without saying that winning this competition is a tremendous achievement. Tamiru has worked tirelessly to highlight the work of his coffee farming partners with this lot, and it is a true honor to have the opportunity to roast and share this coffee with you.

What makes this coffee so special? The attention to detail in the processing of this lot creates sparkling fruit and floral notes with bright and complex acidity. We taste lychee, pineapple, raspberry, passion fruit, gin syrup, rose, grape, and jasmine in the cup.

This coffee is available in 100g tins and is roasted to order. Highly limited quantities available.
