Craftsmanship and Culture:

The story of Highland Ember begins with heritage. The beans are sourced from a cooperative of smallholder farms in the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia, an area renowned for producing some of the most sought-after Arabica beans in the world. These farmers, many of whom have cultivated coffee for generations, use organic and sustainable practices passed down through their communities.

Once harvested, the beans undergo a slow drying process on raised beds, ensuring even moisture evaporation and flavor development. They are then roasted over a carefully controlled woodfire flame, a method that imparts a gentle smokiness not achievable through industrial roasters. This artisanal approach not only honors the bean’s origin but also creates a unique sensory profile—deep, bold, and lingering.
