Our flagship espresso at our original Williamsburg shop and roastery. Bedford is comprised of two of our oldest sourcing relationships, the coffees from which merge together to create an incredibly delicious and complex experience. Look for ripe stone fruits, citrus brightness, and a beautifully syrupy body. Amazing on its own as an espresso or try in a cortado. Named for our original Brooklyn cafe and roastery, Bedford was conceived as a modern espresso offering. With coffees from our oldest relationships in Ethiopia and Colombia, Bedford emphasizes delicious fruit flavors that still balance delightfully in milk drinks. Suke Quto After beginning his career in agroforestry, Tesfaye Bekele founded Suke Quto in the aftermath of a series of brushfires in the region of Guji. Seeing that locals were replanting the land with crops like corn and teff, he suggested coffee as a more sustainable alternative—a native species capable of thriving in semi-forested conditions. Seeing that farmers needed encouragement to take the risk on such a time-intensive crop, he founded Suke Quto Farm, eventually followed by a washing station and nursery. Today he is credited as one of the preeminent figures in coffee production in what is still considered to be an emerging region.
