USDA Organic and Fairtrade Certified Ethiopia Sidamo

Ethiopia’s Sidamo included Ethiopian coffee bean province may very well be the birthplace of coffee, which makes this premium organic varietal a must-try for coffee lovers. Grown in the highlands, Sidamo coffee beans take longer to mature. This time allows the beans to absorb more nutrients, producing a richer flavor than similar Arabica coffees. Finally, pan roasting releases the beans' unique fruity and flowery tastes that you will love to savor.

USDA Organic and Fairtrade Certified Ethiopia Yirgacheffe

Yirgacheffe coffee offers another premium experience for the discerning coffee drinker. This organic ethiopian coffee variety comes from Oromia in Ethiopia, a highland region known for its fertile ground. If you have a sweet tooth, you’ll enjoy Yirgacheffe coffee’s fruity berry flavor and its complementary fragrance. It pairs perfectly with this coffee’s bright acidity. It’s ideal for someone looking for a new medium-bodied coffee.

USDA Organic Certified Kenya Grade AA

When you’re unwilling to sacrifice quality, look no further than Twiga’s Kenya AA coffee straight from Kenya. Few places in the world have elevations this high to allow for the slow growth that produces coffee as richly flavored as this. However, the volcanic Kenyan soils are equally important to this coffee’s distinguished honey and lime flavor profile and unique tropical aroma. Balanced acidity creates a moderate sensation for those who want a memorable coffee experience.

USDA Organic and Fairtrade Certified Rwanda

Rwanda Coffee is known as the “land of a thousand hills,” many of which happen to grow coffee amongst its vast natural forests inhabited by the world famous gorilla. After the coffee crop was introduced by missionaries in the early 1900s, coffee has become a critical part of the local economy, producing world class whole beans that have a distinguishing caramel and cinnamon flavor profile.
