About Aricha of Ethiopia
Aricha is a private washing station located in the Yirgacheffe district, in the heart of southern Ethiopia’s coveted Gedeo Zone. Aricha itself is deeply tied to Yirgacheffe’s legendary celebrity. Originally known as “Misty Valley” after the humidity that settles into the area at night, the processing station was run for many years by Abdullah Bagersh and was known as being one of the country’s best coffees available anywhere. Present-day Aricha is owned and operated by Cherab na Betesebu and his family. The processing site receives ripe cherries from 650 small coffee farmers, who average just two hectares of family farmland each.

Camber Coffee
Camber Coffee started out as a late night conversation between three friends, Andrew, David and Todd, at a dark little cocktail joint in Bellingham, WA. They had worked together for nearly 10 years and were all Q graders. Most importantly, they all had a hunger to find coffees that would surprise and delight their customers. After many years of dreaming, they finally started Camber in 2015. Camber means "curve," which is perfectly fitting because each coffee requires a unique roast curve in order to unlock all of the sweetness and complexity that it has to offer.
Based in Bellingham, WA, Camber is all about finding and roasting sweet, complex and balanced coffees. This leads them to cup constantly, vetting every single roast before it leaves their facility. They’re always dreaming up new ways to deepen their relationship with farmers in order to bring even more amazing coffees to the table. In everything they do, they seek to treat people with kindness and respect. They work with skilled, quality-obsessed farmers, and pay top dollar for their green coffee.
Besides working with many well-known cafes, restaurants, they opened their flagship cafe in Camber downtown Bellingham in 2017, which was quickly named Best Coffeeshop in Washington State by Food & Wine Magazine.
