The Coffee: Sidama Mate Matiwos Lot 1
Processing: Natural
Tasting: Strawberry, Cantaloupe, Lime
The Importer: Crop to Cup
A new 2025 relationship (sort of!) with Crop to Cup. If you've been around the specialty coffee world, it's very likely you've come across Crop to Cup and probably enjoyed it quite a bit :)
Based out of Brooklynn, Crop to Cup does a next-level job sourcing and facilitating out of several coffee growing countries. Starting in 2007, they have an extensive network and perspective that facilitates not only excellent coffee, but the caliber of standards for producer pay etc that we expect. Grateful to Devin and the rest of the team for facilitating excellence for us.
The producer: Mate Matiwos
It cant be overstated how fortunate we are to have access to this Lot 1 from Mate Matiwos. As a Cup of Excellence winner, we get to experience Ethiopian coffee for all that it's known to be. With high elevation, prime time location and years of growing and processing knowledge Mate Matiwos and his team produce exceptional coffees year after year.
