Ethiopia Worka Sakaro | Yirgacheffe

We thought it was about time we did an African Coffee. The Worka Sakaro washing station is well known in the specialty coffee community for processing some of the best coffees from the Ethiopian Highlands. We purchased this coffee through Catalogue Coffee Merchants of Toronto and we’re happy to be bringing this coffee to market.
It's a nice washed Ethiopian coffee made of a blend of Ethiopian Heirloom varietals. After being picked, the coffee was depulped and left to ferment for 24-48hrs. The parchment was dried on African beds for 7-10 days in a controlled environment.
This is a nice clean Ethiopian cup. It has notes of Black Tea, Pear and Toffee. We really hope you enjoy this coffee.
COFFEE OF THE MONTH
In November 2024, Noah and I visited Alex Portilla at his farm in the La Paz Department of Honduras. These three coffees are some of the most exciting offerings of our direct trade partners from 2025. You can get them individually or as the Finca El Corinto Collection. Learn more about this up and coming coffee producer on our partner page.

LIMITED RELEASE
Last week I bought Black River from the Regional Market. I have to say. It is absolutely the best black coffee I have ever had. I hope it’s a regular edition that is available all the time. It’s so good. I’m definitely telling everyone I know to get it. Really. Not to overstate it, I was blown away.
- Happy customer
Best gift ever
From the small-batch roasting to the unique story behind each blend, Tug Hill Artisan Roaster's Coffees really do make for the best gift ever. Why? With each gift, you not only support a small business but farmers from around the world. Deliver coffee right to their door today- or set up a subscription!
What Else is Going On?
We're getting some super nano-lots in over the next few weeks. This is one of the first to arrive. It's a coffee by Wilton Benitez brought here by Tio Conejo.
Wilton is known in the coffee world for developing new and innovative post harvest processess. This Thermal Shock Caturra is no different.
There is a bit of tragedy with this coffee though that we don't want to skirt around. On July 25 Tio Conejo's micro mill caught on fire and burned to the ground. Tug Hill Artisan Roasters would really like to encourage you to consider supporting the mill's reconstruction by going to the gofundme page.
This is a great business with a great vision for elevating specialty coffee and spreading the positive impacts. The world is small.

Who do we partner with?
Tug Hill Artisan Roasters sources coffee both through importers as well as directly from farms. We really value these "direct trade" relationships. So much so that we've set up a whole page on our website where we talk about them!
Whether the farmers are practicing new and innovate pest control or fermenting coffee with unique yeast strains, we want to share and emphasize some of the wonderful people we've had the opportunity to work with over the years.
At Tug Hill Artisan Roasters, we recognize that the best we can do as roasters is being true to the intent of the farmers and processors. It's the knowhow to grow great coffee and hours put into its processing that sets specialty apart (obviously there's also the scoring). Let's put credit due where it deserves to be.
