Coffee Info

Caramel Kush is an Ethiopian specialty coffee sourced from the high-altitude villages of Arbegona in Sidama, grown between 1980 and 2080 masl. The coffee is cultivated by smallholder farmers managing plots of 0.5 to 3 hectares, organically maintained and surrounded by native forests.

Cherries are processed at the Molla Station, where heirloom varietals, including the prominent 74158 cultivar, are naturally dried to preserve sweetness and complexity. The resulting cup delivers clean, layered notes of caramel, green apple, and candied almonds.

Farm / Producer Info

The Molla area lies in the Arbegona district of Sidama, one of 30 districts within the region. Farms are situated amid natural vegetation and fertile highland soils. This combination of elevation, microclimate, and traditional organic practices produces distinctive Sidama specialty coffee with vibrant clarity and sweetness.

Process Info

This coffee is naturally processed. Whole ripe cherries are sun-dried on raised beds at altitude, turned regularly for even drying, and hand-sorted to remove defects. The process enhances body and highlights the coffee’s inherent caramel and fruit notes.

 

Grind Info

Whole Bean
Just beans. Suitable for grinding at home to match your preferred brewing method and equipment.

Fine Espresso
Ground finer for commercial espresso machines that use higher pressure, larger baskets, and more consistent extraction systems.
Examples: La Marzocco, Victoria Arduino, ECM, Rocket

Home Espresso Grind
Ground slightly coarser to suit domestic espresso and bean-to-cup machines, which typically operate at lower pressure and flow rates.
Examples: De'Longhi, Sage, Philips, supermarket espresso machines.

Stove Top Grind
Slightly coarser than espresso, designed for moka pots and stove top brewers where pressure is lower than traditional espresso machines.
Examples: Bialetti and other stove top brewers.

AeroPress Grind
Medium-fine grind optimised for AeroPress.

Filter Grind
Medium grind designed for slower extraction methods that rely on gravity rather than pressure. Best suited for filter coffee brewers and drip machines.
Examples: Moccamaster, Melitta, V60 and batch brew systems.
