Perfect For
Those who seek a morning coffee ritual to start their day with joy and a bit of a pick me up or need an afternoon break with a warm cup to refresh the soul.
Why We Love It
This half caf blend is organically grown in the Guji Region of Ethiopia, perfect for those reducing caffeine who don’t want to sacrifice the quality of their coffee. The name essence comes from the outstanding aroma and tastes this coffee provides, a perfect focal point for your morning coffee ritual. We love savoring Ethiopian Essence and enjoying moments of gratitude.
About the Grower
Meet Haile Gebre, the "Godfather of Guji." After being displaced from his childhood home in Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia, Haile returned decades later to revolutionize coffee farming. His 640-hectare Shakisso farm collaborates with over 300 smallholders to produce exceptional coffee with nuanced citrus and stone fruit flavors. His innovations, including bespoke compost and sustainable practices, have significantly improved farm management and productivity in the region.
