Doyenne Ethiopia Shakiso - 5LB

Ordered the 5LB bag for our office grinder and it's been going fast. The Guji beans brew up with a really clean, bright cup, and knowing it came from the Shakiso washing station makes the morning pour a little better.

The all-female production story is what drew me in, and the fact that it comes in a 5LB bag means I get to enjoy it for weeks without running out. The beans arrived fresh and have a smooth, earthy richness that I’ve been savoring every morning.

The 5LB bag is a serious commitment, but it’s the right one for my daily pour-over habit. The beans are dense and clean, and the flavor is bright and complex without any of the harshness I sometimes get from lighter roasts. It’s a genuinely special cup knowing it’s from an all-female production line
