Project Origin

Project Origin sources specialty coffee from Ethiopia, specifically within the renowned regions of Guji and Yirgacheffe. The coffee trees grow at high altitudes ranging from 1900 to 2300 meters above sea level. The varietal landscape represented in the catalog consists entirely of traditional heirloom cultivars. These local varieties form the foundation of the offerings from this producer. The process portfolio highlights specialized and non-traditional methods. Treatments observed in the catalog include natural processing, carbonic maceration, and other experimental techniques. The catalog footprint includes three coffees evaluated under the Cherrybook Index, with an average score of 74.0. Currently, these lots are carried by one roaster, Rogue Wave Coffee, with zero lots currently in stock. Recent catalog examples include the Ethiopia Project Origin Koke Indigo lot 1124 processed experimentally, the Ethiopia Guji Masina Jasper Lot 0824 utilizing a natural process, and the Ethiopia Project Origin Gargari Amber Lot 2308 prepared via carbonic maceration, all featuring heirloom varieties and roasted by Rogue Wave Coffee. Project Origin maintains a distinct focus in the catalog on experimental and carbonic maceration processing methods applied to classic Ethiopian heirloom varieties.
