That’s why Super Nature comes from certified organic farms - grown without the use of synthetic fertilisers, herbicides and pesticides. This single origin espresso is available all year round, showcasing robust, fruity coffees from Ethiopia and Peru.

Located at a whopping 2,100 masl, this coffee comes from the Chelbesa washing station in Gedeb, southern Ethiopia.

Importer: Nordic Approach

In total, 170 farmers deliver their cherries to Chelbesa washing station for processing. The dried parchment must then be approved by the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (ECX) checkpoint where its contents are graded and registered as exportable product before it is warehoused in Addis Ababa. The exporter, SNAP Trading & Industry PLC then mills the coffee, prepares the export documentation and transports the coffee to the port in Djibouti. Our importer, Nordic Approach, ships the coffee to their warehouse in Belgium and arranges the onward transport to our roastery.
