THE PRODUCER

We’ve known Ashenafi for many years, from when he oversaw Ninety Plus Coffee’s pioneering Ethiopian programme. His Ardent Coffee business focuses on a portfolio of micro and nano lot coffees from across the famed coffee regions of Ethiopia, from Sidama to Guji and Yirgacheffe.

CITY

BRIGHT, MODERN,
FRUIT-FORWARD FLAVOURS.

Sourced from ripe cherries that are selected in and around Bensa and Chire villages, in the Sidama region. A classic fully washed coffee using the fermentation tanks at Ardent’s Shantagolba Washing Station, the coffee is then gently sun-dried on raised African beds.

Please note we only hold limited stock of these products, but we aim to roast at least two times a week (T&Cs apply)

How to brew


We normally lean toward filter brewing for the producer series as the method highlights the more complex and delicate flavours in lighter roasted coffee. As always, we default to the industry standard of 60g of coffee per litre of water as a starting point.

For espresso try a 1:2.5 brew ratio and shot times of around 24-30 seconds.
