Spring Filter Blend

Spring has arrived!

This time we are putting together a few of our favourite lots from Burundi and Ethiopia.We have chosen to blend two amazing Ethiopian coffees to keep things light and fruity with 40% of Masha, Kayanza from Burundi to bring the weight, depth and intrigue. It’s got a bright, juicy spring park wine vibe, with enough structure and warmth to get us through these next months of inclement weather.

40% Masha — Kayanza, Burundi A heavy, fruited and intriguing coffee from the Gitara region of Burundi. Farmers in this region traditionally farm cattle for subsistence and trade, but growing and exporting coffee is a critical cash crop which the community relies heavily on and can aid in drastically improving quality of life when operating at its best. Using this coffee in the Spring filter blend allows us to buy more of this beautiful coffee and as a result get as much money back to producers as possible.

30% Kayon Mountain — Shakiso, Guji, Ethiopia We have bought from Kayon Mountain Farm for years, and for good reason; it’s delicious. An exceptional washed process coffee from Kayon Mountain Farm, owned by Ismael Hassen Aredo and his family. Producing some of the most stand out organic coffees available.

30% Arsosala — Uraga, Guji, Ethiopia Arsosala comes from the Uraga woreda (district) of Guji, and is named after the Arsosala Washing Station which serves circa 1200 smallholder farmers. Typically farmers in this region don’t have access to and as such don’t use fertilizers or pesticides, making this coffee as organic as it can get without certification. It is also a “special prep” meaning only the best lots from these farmers made it into the bags!

Tasting like: Ripe nectarine, dried apricot and bergamot with a salted caramel, chocolate finish with plenty of interesting spice flavours. Light and fruity up front with a sticky sweet finish.

Exceptional black, fruited, dense and jammy. Sweet, balanced and fruited with milk.

The Spring Filter Blend, crafted by Everyday Coffee, is a washed-process selection sourced from high-elevation farms ranging between 1672 and 2200 meters above sea level. In the world of specialty coffee, the washed process is frequently utilized to highlight the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean, often resulting in a clean, vibrant cup profile. This specific blend presents a complex array of flavors, balancing the bright, stone-fruit sweetness of ripe nectarine and dried apricot with the delicate citrus aromatics of bergamot. These lighter notes are grounded by a rich, savory foundation of salted caramel, chocolate, and subtle spice. To better understand how these diverse characteristics are categorized, you can consult our flavor wheel. For those interested in how the preparation of the cherry influences the final cup, our processing methods explainer provides further insight into the technical nuances of the washed method.
