Misspent Youth

Misspent Youth combines two naturals: a Brazilian Catuai from Elisabete Martins and a blend of Ethiopian varietals 74110 and 74112 from Mensur Abahika Jemal. Elisabete Martins produced this lot on, Fazenda Cachoeira, alongside her family. Jemal’s 18-hectare farm lies in Jimma, Ethiopia, where he is a member of the Tokuma Farmer Group—a collective of producers in Western Ethiopia.

PROCESSING

Both components of this blend are naturally processed coffees. Whole cherries are dried either on raised beds or patios in thin layers.

TRACEABILITY

Elisabete Martins’ lot was sourced through Bossa Coffee, a women-led specialty coffee importer with deep roots in Brazil. Mensur Jemal’s lot was sourced through Osito, who works directly with the Tokuma Farmer Group.
