Wholesale Black Cat Reserve | Ethiopia Sidama Single Origin

Some creatures move through the world leaving no trace, only the faint impression that something extraordinary passed through. Black Cat Reserve is a naturally processed Ethiopian Sidama single origin, raised-bed dried for up to three weeks at very high altitude where heirloom varieties have been growing since coffee itself began. Berry, stone fruit, and jasmine florals layer over a wine-like depth that reveals itself slowly and lingers longer than expected. Expressive. Aromatic. Completely sure of itself. Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee. Sidama is where it shows off. We just had the good sense to get out of the way. Natural processing and raised-bed drying preserve everything extraordinary about this bean: the clarity, the complexity, the extraordinary genetic diversity of Ethiopian heirloom varieties that no other origin in the world can replicate. Black Cat Reserve is the result of centuries of tradition, very high altitude terroir, and the kind of patience that produces something genuinely worth waiting for. As always, Black Cat Reserve is certified clean: mycotoxin-free, heavy metal-free, and yeast-free. Because extraordinary coffee shouldn’t come with anything it didn’t come with originally.
