Best enjoyed telling stories by the fire.
From Ethiopia’s Sidamo region, Lore is a naturally processed coffee grown high in Kokose village at 1,850–2,200 metres. We think it tastes a bit like blackberry, mango and dark chocolate. Rich, juicy and creamy, with a finish that sticks around like a good story.
Roast level: Light

lore - ethiopia kokose
Lore takes us back to the birthplace of coffee, Ehtiopia. In Kokose village, farming isn’t just work, it’s life. Families grow coffee trees alongside fields of grain, fruit and vegetables, with cattle, sheep and goats grazing nearby. When the cherries ripen, they’re hand-picked and dried in the sun.
That natural process keeps all the fruitiness and gives the cup its depth. On the roadsides and in the villages you’ll find baskets, pottery and woven goods for sale.
These small crafts sit alongside the coffee trade, reminding us that creativity, livelihood and tradition are all connected here. We called this coffee Lore because it carries those stories with it. And because coffee has always been best shared while swapping tales.
