Fellow's Take on Ethiopia Regessa by April | Brew Guide

Here's how we brewed this sublime selection from a single farm, roasted by April Coffee Roasters in Copenhagen, Denmark.

It’s rare to find an Ethiopian coffee that’s traceable to a single farm, but April is dedicated to spotlighting incredible individual producers. Regessa owns a 4 hectare farm planted exclusively with the distinctly sweet Krume 74158 variety. We tasted red fruit, florals, and candied citrus.

🌍 Origin: Sidama, Ethiopia

🌞 Process: Natural

🔬 Variety: Krume 74158

⛰️ Elevation: 2,270 MASL

🔥 Roast: Light
