About Smallholder producers of Ethiopia
This special lot comes courtesy of Kolla Bolcha co-op, a new cooperative from the esteemed Kata Muduga Union Cooperative. Kata Muduga Co-op, established in 2016, is a forward-thinking group of growers who not only produce stellar coffees but do so in an ecologically responsible manner. For example, they use eco-friendly Penagos pulping machines to remove the fruit from the beans.
Currently Kolla Bolcha processes the coffees of some 400 local member farmers, washing and grading ripe cherries through the use of channels that separate the coffee by density. To finish the drying process, the coffee is are moved into the sunlight for 1-2 weeks until the moisture stabilizes and it’s ready to mill and export.

Ritual Coffee
When Ritual opened its doors on Valencia Street in 2005, they started what many call a coffee revolution in San Francisco. Their goal then—and their goal now—is to craft the very best cup of coffee available anywhere. Period. A pioneer in the recent shift of consciousness that has defined the modern coffee industry, they’ve learned a lot over the years. Still, the care and attention they lavish on their process is unchanged as they work to bring the very best out of the coffees they painstakingly choose, roast, and deliver fresh to coffee lovers worldwide.
With 5 retail stores in the bay area and a roasting facility in the SoMa district of San Francisco, Ritual takes pride in a growing number of direct trade relationships with coffee producers around the world, working with farmers to help them improve their quality with each passing season.
