Ardent Coffee

Ardent Coffee sources its lots from Ethiopia, specifically within the Sidama and Yirgacheffe regions. The coffee is cultivated at high elevations, ranging from 1950 to 2300 meters above sea level.

The varietal profile for these coffees is categorized as heirloom. This designation reflects the traditional genetic diversity found in these specific Ethiopian growing regions.

The producer utilizes a range of processing methods. The catalog includes both washed coffees and an anaerobic natural process. This indicates a focus on both traditional preparation techniques and contemporary experimental treatments.

The catalog footprint for Ardent Coffee includes three distinct lots. These coffees have been featured by two different roasters. Recent catalog examples include the Ardent Shanta Golba Washed processed by REC Coffee, the Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Ardent anaerobic natural processed by Dark Woods Coffee, and the Ethiopia Shantagolba Ardent washed, also by Dark Woods Coffee.

The work of Ardent Coffee is characterized by its focus on high-altitude Ethiopian heirloom varieties and a balance between traditional washed and experimental anaerobic processing.
