About The Coffee

As our aim is to bring more good beans to coffee enthusiasts, allowing more people to experience some unique flavor profiles, we have decided to introduce a MBrC preliminary competition bean, Ethiopia Koke Amber as part of our exotic series. 

For the MBrC 2023 preliminary round, Jia Heng, our head roaster, selected a particular coffee bean to present to the judges. He chose the Ethiopia Koke Amber bean because he discovered that it maintained its quality throughout the cup, making it an ideal choice for consumers seeking a superior coffee experience. In addition, Jia Heng wanted to share the pleasure of good coffee with others by choosing an easily accessible bean. “Good coffee means to share”, therefore, he decided to use Ethiopia Koke Amber for the competition.
