Story Behind the Cup

Farm-Level Story

The journey of Kaffa Afera begins in two of the world’s most celebrated coffee origins—Ethiopia’s Kaffa region and the lush coffee-growing highlands of Brazil. From Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, come beans grown at high altitudes in fertile, mineral-rich soils, handpicked by smallholder farmers who select only the ripest cherries. From Brazil, the world’s largest coffee producer, come smooth, nutty beans that add body, sweetness, and depth. This harmonious marriage of origins creates a balanced profile—Ethiopia bringing bright floral and citrus notes, and Brazil contributing rich chocolate and caramel tones—making it the perfect foundation for a specialty drip coffee blend.

The coffees used in Kaffa Afera vary seasonally to ensure peak freshness and flavor, with careful selection from farms that share our commitment to quality and sustainability. Processing methods include washed for a clean, crisp taste and natural for added sweetness and complexity, giving the blend its multi-layered character.

At Smoky Coffee Roasters, these green coffee beans are roasted in small batches to bring out their origin-driven nuances while tailoring the roast profile for V60 pour-over, AeroPress, and French Press brewing methods. This precise approach ensures that every cup delivers clarity, balance, and sweetness—allowing coffee lovers to experience the full spectrum of flavors with each brew.

From farm to cup, Kaffa Afera is a testament to our philosophy at Smoky Coffee Roasters: sourcing ethically, roasting with intention, and crafting coffee that celebrates the artistry of both the farmer and the roaster. Whether enjoyed as a slow, meditative pour-over or a bold, aromatic French Press, this exclusive blend turns every morning into a coffee ritual worth savoring.
