Meet the Grower

Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee,  is where coffee accounts for more than half of Ethiopia’s export earnings. Known for its sweet flavor and aroma with a light to medium body.

In 2016 Brendan, Ponaire’s Master Roaster visited a number of farms in Ethiopia. During his visit, he saw a wide variety of methods of growing coffee, including wild coffee plants in natural forests. On one farm trip, as he was walking amongst the coffee shrubs/trees, he noticed ‘insects’ flying in and out of holes at the base of the plants.

He said nothing but when the farm manager, Jaques, gave him some coffee to taste, Brendan noticed a distinct honey flavour. Jaques smiled at him and said he noticed Brendan watching the ‘insects’ at the base of the plants. He then explained to the group why the coffee had such a honey sweetness to it – the ‘insects’ where in fact bees flying into their hives in the earth under the coffee plants! This is an example of true terroir – where the quality of the land imparts distinct flavours to the coffee.

Brendan brought with him books, school supplies and clothes to the delighted children who live on the coffee farm. The coffee plants are well spread out to allow them room to grow and allow space for the farmers to hand pick the cherries when they are ripe.

    The magic bean that converted my coffee-resistant sister! This is a bright flavour that will please at any time of day

  5. Derek Brauders (verified owner)

    Well this was an eye opener. An absolutely delicious coffee that holds so many flavours which the lighter roast shows perfectly. This does not mean it’s a light coffee, as it’s deceptively rich in flavour. I’ll be getting this one again, as a special treat!

    • Jennifer Ryan (store manager)

      Delighted that you enjoyed this coffee. It is a special one for us and always a pleasure to roast and even better to drink. Thanks for the feedback.

    Very smooth with some complex flavours. Not too strong which suits my taste. A real crowd pleaser.
