☕️ Embers of Origin: The Story Behind Our Ethiopian & Sumatran Camp Roasts
Each roast in our Camp collection isn’t just a flavor—it’s a memory made in firelight, a journey through soil and smoke. Sourced from two of the most storied coffee-growing regions on the planet, our Ethiopian and Sumatran beans bring elemental contrast and harmony to every cup.
🌍 The Source Behind the Sip
🇪🇹 Ethiopia – Morning’s Muse High-altitude farms in Sidamo and Yirgacheffe grow beans with natural elegance: bright florals, sweet berries, and citrus sparkle. Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee, and its beans retain that mystical quality—delicate, aromatic, and full of soul.
🇮🇩 Sumatra – Earth’s Depth Northern Sumatra’s tropical climate and traditional wet-hulling practices yield coffees that are bold and full-bodied, with herbal richness, syrupy depth, and a whisper of spice. These beans anchor our blends with weight and warmth.
🔥 The Campfire-Inspired Trio
🌅 Morning Embers Camp Roast 100% Ethiopian Beans Bright & floral with hints of citrus and berry. A radiant start that reflects the purity of the highlands. Crafted to awaken the senses—like sunrise on fresh soil.
🔥 Deep Embers Camp Roast 50/50 Ethiopian & Sumatra | Hickory Smoked Bold and earthy with cocoa, spice, and campfire depth. Smoked with hickory for a rustic, unforgettable finish. A toast to the wild, where wood meets flame.
🌌 Midnight Embers Camp Roast Sumatra & Ethiopian Blend Deep, velvety body with herbal notes and soft fruit. A comforting, complex brew for slow moments. Best sipped beneath stars.
🌱 Why These Coffees Matter
We source with integrity—working alongside cooperatives that value sustainability and ethical trade. Our Ethiopian and Sumatran coffees honor both land and labor, ensuring that every roast is more than just delicious... it’s purposeful.
Hand-roasted by Chef Mark, each bag is calibrated to tell a story—of origin, of artistry, and of ember-warmed evenings around the fire.
