About

Tessema Edima started working in coffee from an early age and grows false banana for the local markets as well as coffee. He remembers helping his father and his uncles pick coffee from small patches of land around the local area. The coffee here grows in an almost semi-wild state with little interference or management. We first sampled Tessema Edima's coffee a couple of years ago in Trabocca's Operation Cherry Red programme and following auction. We were so impressed with the coffee that we asked Trabocca if we could buy from Tessema again which we did, and now we are a few harvests down the road and this coffee is one of the favourites on our counter. Often the importers and facilitators in coffee trading are derided as 'middlemen' but this is a terrific example of a company finding coffees through an innovative programme and helping buyers who wouldn't otherwise have access to them. See trabocca.com for more information about the work they do in Ethiopia and their latest competition.

Grind Guide

Cafetière

A coarse grind also suitable for cold brew. We use the word cafetière, but this can also be referred to as a French press, plunger or press pot.

Aeropress slow

Suitable for making a long, filter style coffee, often brewed for a few minutes. Similar to our paper filter setting.

Filter

This is suitable for our paper filters and ceramic or plastic cones, along with other brands such as V60, Clever dripper and Melitta.

Stovetop

This is an espresso style grind suitable for use in hob top espresso pots such as a Bialetti or Grunwerg. Sometimes referred to as a moka pot.

Aeropress fast

This is also an espresso style grind ideal for brewing a short, concentrated, espresso style coffee in an Aeropress.

Domestic espresso

A fine grind for using in your home espresso machine. Grind requirements will vary depending on brand and model, but this setting aims to work for the majority of home setups.

Whole beans

For use in your home grinder!

If you use a different method such as a syphon or Chemex, require a custom grind or need some advice, please get in touch and we will be happy to help.
