One of our most requested selections. A balanced light roast, earthy black tea and bergamot notes are lifted by gentle citrus and hints of stone fruit for a smooth, layered cup.

Ethiopia
Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee and yet the fourth poorest country in the world. Coffee farmers live a very traditional lifestyle, farming fewer than 5 acres and living in stick houses. Electricity, running water and indoor plumbing are rare in rural areas.
Quality is fundamental to Higher Grounds' mission, and our Apex Series exemplifies this commitment best. Holding up our Apex coffees is our opportunity to hold up the farmers as well. While roasters relish the opportunity to showcase their skills by roasting and cupping these unique and exquisite coffees, the true mission of the Apex Series lies in honoring our Farmer Partners. Each bag prominently features the names of our Farmer Partners, highlighting our responsibility and privilege to elevate these artisans. Their expertise, often honed over multiple generations, is crucial to the exceptional coffee we produce together. Every cup is as much their creation as it is ours.
One of my favorite beans! My go to daily coffee for years now. Great clean flavor withfruity tea like undertones&, makes it a great day to day coffee when you don’t have time to make a pourover of something more exciting.
