A Standout Lot from Girma Sentayehu

Sonic Apricot is a testament to the dedication of Girma Sentayehu, a second-generation farmer in Biloya, Kochere. While his family has owned the land since 1970, Girma is forging a new path, having obtained his export license in 2019 to gain more ownership over his family's future. His 6.46-hectare farm, enriched by red-brown loam soil and shaded by native trees, benefits from the adjacent Biloya River. This pristine water source is key to his meticulous washed process, a method that makes his lot the only washed coffee in the entire 2025 Operation Cherry Red Smallholder Series. Through this program, support from roasters flow directly to Girma, empowering him to invest in quality improvements like shade nets for more controlled drying

A Resonant Wave of Flavor and Impact

In your cup, this direct relationship yields a profoundly vibrant experience. This small batch hits in clear, expressive waves: a honeyed sweetness gives way to delicate chamomile florals, culminating in a sparkling finish of ripe apricot. This bright, light roast showcases the clarity that Girma’s careful washing and drying along the riverbank achieve. By choosing Sonic Apricot, you're not just enjoying an exceptional Yirgacheffe coffee; you're participating in a transparent supply chain that challenges the norm. You are directly supporting Girma's livelihood and his commitment to quality, ensuring the future of his farm and his family of eleven. This is the measurable impact of traceable coffee.

What grind should I choose for my brewing method?
Whole Bean

Whole bean coffee is unprocessed and unground, preserving peak freshness and flavor until ground to the desired consistency for various brewing methods.

Espresso

Espresso grind is a fine, powdery grind with a texture like granulated sugar, crafted to create high-pressure extraction, resulting in a rich, concentrated shot with bold flavor and velvety crema.

Aeropress

Aeropress grind is a medium-fine to fine grind, similar to table salt or slightly finer, allowing for versatile brewing times and methods, resulting in a clean, rich, and full-flavored cup.

Cone Filter or V60

Cone filter grind is a medium-fine grind with a consistency similar to table salt, designed to optimize water flow and extraction in cone-shaped coffee makers, enhancing clarity and balanced flavor.

Flat Filter or Cold Brew

Flat filter grind is a medium grind with a consistency like sea salt, ideal for flat-bottom drip brewers, promoting even extraction and producing a balanced, smooth cup of coffee.

Chemex or Kalita

Chemex grind is a medium-coarse grind, similar to coarse sand, designed to ensure a slower extraction and clean, bright cup with pronounced clarity and delicate flavors.

French Press or Clever

French press grind is a coarse grind, with a texture like breadcrumbs or coarse sea salt, allowing for full immersion brewing and producing a rich, full-bodied cup with minimal sediment.

How fresh is your coffee?

Our coffee is roasted fresh to order and ships within 24 hours to ensure peak flavor. For optimal taste, we recommend brewing between 4 and 21 days after the roast date—this allows the coffee to degas and fully develop. After that window, it will still taste great for several weeks (or more), especially if stored in a cool, airtight container.
