Ethiopia is one of the world’s most fascinating coffee origins. Not only are its coffees bursting with flavor, but the country is generally considered coffee’s birthplace. There are indications that coffee had appeared earlier in Sudan, as well as grown as a crop in Yemen, however Ethiopia champions the distinction of being the place where people first consumed coffee. Much of this early activity dates back to the 1600s. So, it goes without saying that Ethiopia has a long, rich coffee history, which explains how the drink is so deeply embedded in the country’s culture. It’s as common to find someone home roasting green beans in a pan over coals, as it is to witness Ethiopians drinking coffee at all hours of the day and night.   

CLEAN & COMPLEX  

In keeping with our commitment to provide you with high quality and interesting specialty grade products, we proudly introduce our Ethiopia Sidamo G1. At an altitude of 4,600-7,200ft, the Sidamo region grows some of the highest Ethiopian coffee. The area is also known for producing distinctive washed and naturally processed coffees that are bright, fruity and extremely aromatic.  Our portable coffee Sidamo G1 beans are washed, so they tend to have a slightly more complex flavor profile, yet they provide a cleanliness that is void of harshness and astringency.   

INTRINSIC FLAVORS  

We used a light roast in order to bring out the bean’s natural intrinsic flavors. Look for bright acidity forward with pleasant floral and grapefruit notes that lead to delightful vanilla and caramel as your cup cools.  For best results, we recommend brewing with hot water around 90-92°C / 194-197°F.    

The Jesuits are believed to have introduced Guatemala coffee in the mid-1700s. Sometime after 1856 coffee became an important crop due to reduced demand for indigo, which had previously been the main cash crop. Fast forward to present day where Guatemala produces more than three million bags per year, distributes globally, and has been extremely successful at communicating the distinctiveness of its key growing regions from one another.  Guatemalan coffees are as delicious and colorful as the country’s rich cultural traditions.   

FERTILE REGION  

TRIBO COFFEE is excited to include an offering from Guatemala’s Antigua region. Located between 4,900-5,600ft, Antigua is probably the country’s most well-known coffee-producing region due to its high elevation, fertile volcanic soil and accommodating shade trees.   

NUTTY, CITRUS, CHOCOLATE, OH MY!  

Roasted medium, this coffee provides wonderful flavor and fragrance complexity with notes that touch floral, nutty, citrus and chocolate. Its medium acidity at the start rolls beautifully into a tasty sweet finish, leaving you with a satisfying sense of balance and pleasant body along the way. 

Unlike Ethiopia and Guatemala's long history of coffee production, the Papua New Guinea (PNG) coffee industry didn’t really take root until the 20th century. Coffee was grown in the late 1800s, but wasn’t really treated as a commercial product until around 1928, when farms were established using Jamaica’s Blue Mountain seeds. Amazingly, much of the land and tribes of the Western Highlands weren’t even discovered until the 1930s. By the 1950s, a genuine coffee movement had taken shape around the island. Today PNG produces some of Asia’s most interesting coffees, yet it’s still a place of fascinating mystery.   

WESTERN HIGHLANDS WAHGI VALLEY 

Our TRIBO Coffee PNG selection comes from the island’s Western Highlands in the Wahgi Valley, a place of breathtaking natural beauty where deep blue skies, streaking crisp white clouds and lush green forests meet daily like old friends at a local cafe. Located at 3,300-5,900ft, this highland jungle area provides a combination of ideal altitude and extremely fertile volcanic soil, which together provide a perfect canvass for painting some really exciting coffees. Most of the coffees here are produced by smallholders, so the tribal farmers are intimately involved in the cultivation of every plant.   

REPRESENTATIVE OF TRIBO  

This is a delicious coffee and a great reflection of the TRIBO Coffee brand. As much as we love the coffees from well-known origins, we also love to explore the less common ones. This PNG coffee is a great example. We roasted it medium-dark to highlight its naturally creamy body, as well as its delicious caramel, blackberry and plum notes. With a slightly darker roast, you will enjoy lower acidity up front with a bit more sweetness and pleasant mouthfeel. 

True to its name, the portable coffee Expedition Blend is a fantastic journey to new and old coffee countries, exploring three continents on its way to becoming a delicious cup. We combined beans from Ethiopia, Kenya, Brazil and Myanmar then roasted medium to elicit a unique flavor profile that’s buttery with delicious nutty, raisin, and milk chocolate notes.  This is a wonderfully well-traveled blend coffee that will inspire discovery with every sip.  A perfect travel coffee!
