Equator Coffee, Golden Hour Seasonal Blend - 10.5 oz Whole Bean Coffee

About this item

• Holiday Blend is built around a citrus- and floral-toned washed process coffee produced on Suke Quto, a farm located in the Guji Highlands of Ethiopia. Suke Quto is owned and operated by Ato Tesfaye Bekele, one of the people that helped to put the Guji region on the specialty coffee map. At nearly 550 acres, Suke Quto coffee farm, washing station and dry mill have become a force in the highlands of Guji. Their focus is on the production of environmentally friendly coffee in an economically viable manner that benefits the community, and helps people earn a living income from sustainable coffee production. Suke Quto, and all the coffees in Holiday Blend are certified organic.
• Holiday Blend features not one, but two coffees from Ethiopia, the second one is a natural processed lot from Kayon Mountain Estate, which is also located in the Guji growing region. Natural, or dry processed coffees are not pulped after harvesting, which means the coffee fruit is left to dry on the beans fully intact, resulting in intense fruit-forward flavors. We used a relatively small percentage of Kayon Mountain Natural to ensure that the flavors of the other components were not overpowered, but enough to contribute just the right amount of sweet berry and stone fruit presence.
• FRESHLY ROASTED: Every coffee is expertly roasted at the Equator roastery in Marin County, California, where we cup daily for quality control to ensure only the best flavor for every bag of coffee.
• SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS: We nurture long-term relationships with growers who practice responsible land stewardship and sustainable farming; We also use plant-based packaging and energy efficient coffee roasters
• WOMEN-FOUNDED: Equator Coffees has committed 25+ years to sustainable, fair trade coffee practices; Becoming the first California coffee roaster to be Fair Trade and B Corporation-certified solidified our leadership in the global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy
