Filter Blend Description

Comprising an equal split of two amazing origins; Ethiopia and Honduras, Hey Buddy has developed a cult following amongst our filter fans thanks to its versatility around hot and cold-brewed methods.

The Ethiopian coffee comes to us from the Suke Washing Station in Uraga, Guji (Sidama). Sourced via Langdon Coffee Merchants, Suke works with 110 local smallholders and manages quality with 230 raised beds at 2,000–2,100masl. Carefully washed processing and forest-shaded cultivation of endemic heirloom varieties deliver the refined florals and clarity Guji is celebrated for.

The Honduran coffee is a natural-processed selection from the La Paz region, combining lots from producer Mario Mejía (El Jardín) and the COMSA cooperative in Marcala. Grown around 1,700 masl, slow sun-drying and traditional shade-grown methods yield ripe stone-fruit sweetness, layered complexity and a silky mouthfeel.

This blend of coffees comes together to create a crisp, clean and fruit-forward cup with vibrant acidity. Simple and approachable, it’s no surprise this filter blend has been a mainstay on our coffee menu for years.
