Little Waves has been roasting coffees by the Yakro Cooperative for three years. Part of Ethiopia’s incredible Kata Muduga Union, Yakro has radically improved their quality in recent years, thanks in part to investment by the nonprofit Technoserve. This lot was grown at the start of the harvest season and it’s a juicy, tart treat. We tasted peach and black cherry, with a creamy mouthfeel and a pleasantly mild lemon acidity.

Every coffee we share has been tasted and recommended by our expert Tasting Panel who have years of experience in specialty coffee. We cast a wide net, trying hundreds of coffees, keeping an open mind to new regions, processes, and roasters, and going through many rounds of cupping. If there was an easier way of choosing each coffee, we wouldn’t want to do it.
