Misspent Youth

"Misspent Youth" combines two naturals: a Brazilian Red Catuai from Alex Ribeiro and a blend of Ethiopian varietals 74110 and 74112 from Mensur Abahika Jemal. Ribeiro's farm, Sítio Córrego das Pedras, is located in southern Minas Gerais, Brazil. 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

The Corrego Alto from Alex Ribeiro was sourced through Unic Coffee connects top Brazilian coffee producers with roasters across the globe. Mensur’s lot was sourced from Osito, who works directly with the Tokuma Farmer Group. This is our second year harvest year buying coffee from Mensur Jemal.
