Hi love,
This month we're sharing two of our most favourite Ethiopian coffees we've ever had.
Both from the same cooperative in Limu, Ethiopia with the difference being their processing.
These coffees are so refreshing, and perfect for this summer heat.
Let's dive in
A Moment to Reflect:
While sitting under the strawberry moon on the night of summer solstice, I thought about summer as a feeling.
Summer gets busy, with forward movement, and seems to maintain the blossoming growth that's carried over from spring, and I’m leaning fully into it.
My practice right now is finding the slow moments, even within the summer energy.
Enjoy some iced coffee, take a dip in the lake, walk by the ocean.
It's beautiful out there, enjoy it. 🤍

Like biting into a fresh nectarine, balanced by notes of jasmine green tea, finishing with a light note of sweet rhubarb
