We are pleased to bring back a long time single origin favorite: Ethiopia Ardi, a fruit-forward coffee that is grown in Southern Ethiopia’s Guji Zone. We’ve had the privilege of visiting the farmers who produce Ardi and see first-hand the high quality, oversight, and care that goes into this natural sun-dried coffee. BIRU BEKELE WASHING STATION We are pleased to present a coffee that has been a staple on Equator’s menu and a team favorite since 2013, Ethiopia Ardi Natural. The coffee is grown by smallholder farmers and processed at the Biru Bekele washing station in Southern Ethiopia’s Guji region. We’ve had the privilege of visiting the farmers who produce Ardi and see first-hand the high quality, oversight, and care that goes into this natural sun-dried coffee. Ardi is sourced by long time Equator friend and founder of Keffa Coffee, Samuel Demisse. Keffa is an importing business dedicated to sourcing high quality coffees with transparent and ethical supply chains. Samuel was born in Ethiopia, and his father was a coffee professional who taught him about the industry at a young age. On the ground in Ethiopia, Keffa’s licensed Q-grader Tsega Melesse cups every lot before it is prepped for export to ensure the highest quality standards.
