✨ Yirgacheffe is back + win free coffee with our Art Contest!

Floral, fruity, and unforgettable… few coffees hold a place in our collective memory like Yirgacheffe. Whenever it returns to our lineup, it feels less like a new release and more like a homecoming - and we’re thrilled to share that this Ethos family favorite is back online!

Grown in Ethiopia’s legendary coffee origin region, this Natural-processed, light-roasted Heirloom varietal is a celebration of everything that makes coffee fascinating. From the very first sip, you’re welcomed by soaring floral aromatics that immediately announce what is to come - an equally captivating flavor with juicy notes of strawberry and blueberry, lifted by a delicate hint of peach, all balanced by a lively citric sweetness. This is a cup that is at once bright, fragrant, and deeply memorable—one that will probably make you fall in love with coffee all over again. We recommend brewing Yirgacheffe as a pour-over—hot or iced—to let its nuanced layers shine through. It also performs beautifully in a French Press, offering a slightly fuller, fruit-forward profile. However you may choose to brew, this is the coffee to reach for when you want to slow down, take a breath, and feel inspired!

And speaking of inspiration—we have some exciting news! We’re less than 6 months away from our 10-Year Anniversary, and in an effort to involve YOU, our Ethos family, in this special milestone, we’re launching our first-ever Art Contest, giving you the chance to design our 10 Year Anniversary t-shirts and win free coffee for a year! The theme is coffee and impact—a reflection of the journey we’ve shared over the past decade: from the small farmers who cultivate our beans, to the brewing rituals that ground our daily lives, to the collective impact we’ve made as a community. We want to see how you capture our Ethos story through your creativity.

Here’s how to participate:

• Submit your design by October 31st

• Format: PNG file, or share a Canva link

• Email your entry to coffee@ethosroasters.com

We will vote on designs in November, via our IG stories (please follow us @ethosroasters if you’d like to participate!), and announce our winner in December (along with prizes for the top 3 designs). The winning artwork will not only be featured on our limited-edition anniversary shirts but will also earn its creator free coffee for an entire year (i.e. one lb of coffee of your choice per month, shipped free to any address in the US, from Jan-Dec 2026). As we look ahead to the future, we’re filled with gratitude for each of you, our family of thoughtful coffee lovers who make our Ethos possible every day. Whether you express your passion in a cup or on a canvas this month, we can’t wait to see what you’ll create! Let’s Brew Greatness for 100 more years!

🦃 'Tis the Season for Gratitude... and New Coffees!

As the days grow shorter and the temperatures cooler, we’re excited to unveil two new coffees that are sure to warm your heart, stimulate your senses, and hopefully convey the immense gratitude we feel for each and every one of you.

First in the lineup, our Yirgacheffe Natural is back! This is one we know many of you were sorely missing, and for good reason - this Heirloom Natural is as unique as it is exquisite! Sustainably grown by small farmers belonging to the Worka CoOp, this light-medium roast dazzles with strong floral aromas, notes of peach and white sandalwood, and a velvety mouthfeel. Its delicate cocoa-toned sweetness, gentle red fruit acidity, and subtle spice create a harmonious cup that’s perfect for your “slow bar” (i.e. pour-overs and manual brews), or to enjoy as a special Thanksgiving treat with friends and family!

Joining it is our 2024 Red Swan Holiday Blend, a bold and beautifully balanced creation crafted to embody the spirit of the season. This year’s blend features our always wonderful, shade-grown Poaquils (Washed and Natural) for chocolate richness and red fruit undertones; Marcala Anaerobic Honey for added complexity and spice; and our Organic Planadas (in a darker roast) for a robust, earthy finish. Together, these coffees deliver an aromatic, comforting brew that’s perfect for drip, pour-over, or French press methods. This one will only be available until Jan 5, so don’t miss the chance to enjoy our most complex blend of the year this season!

Last, but never least - we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering, incredible support for the past few —or past many— years! Thank you for every order, for every mention, and every gift of Ethos coffee to your family and friends. Your belief in what we do allows us to source some of the world’s finest coffees, and do it exclusively from small farmers who pour their hearts and hopes into each coffee they grow. Together, we get to champion prices that honor their labor and ensure a better world for all of us. Your support fuels the very heart of our Ethos—proving that a mission-driven business can thrive while making a positive impact in the lives of everyone involved: from our farmers, to our small yet mighty team, to each of you who chooses to Brew Greatness with us every day. We hope our coffees make your days brighter, your mornings more inspiring —as with every cup you brew, you’re helping us create ripples of goodness that travel far beyond. Thank you for making this dream a reality and for being part of this coffee family that champions greatness in every sense… Happy Thanksgiving, Ethos family, we are truly so grateful for you,

☕️ Savor the last sips! Last call for 3 exceptional coffees!

As we bid farewell to the last few kilos of three remarkable coffees, we invite you to join us in celebrating their unique flavors and stories… and the few last cups in the next few weeks! Let’s take a closer look at these extraordinary coffees that have left their indelible mark on our journey…

(1) Amani (DR Congo): a rich, creamy, dark roast adventure with earthy undertones and a sweet, nutty finish. This coffee is a testament to the finest washed African Bourbons sourced from the Lake Kivu, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. And it's not just about the taste, but also impacting the lives of Congolese farmers and helping to break the cycles of poverty and injustice. If you love dark roasts, please don’t panic - we’re already planning an exciting new dark roast blend (also featuring this CoOp!) as a replacement, so stay tuned for “Eclipse”, launching in early April!

(2) Yirgacheffe: this one is for the fans of overly floral, fruit-bomb, light roast coffee experiences. This heirloom natural boasts a unique flavor profile with strong florals, peach, and white sandalwood aromas that are uniquely Ethiopian. It has been an Ethos staple for several years, yet the CoOp is moving away from Naturals, and it looks like most our Ethos family may also be favoring more “Honeys” and “Washed” coffees, so we’re discontinuing it to make room for your future new favorites, and we may have an Ethiopian Natural back if we find just the perfect one for us!

(3) Brew Greatness 8 Year Anniversary Blend: this blend is a limited-edition flavor bomb, which we only do once a year! By aging the last of our honey-processed "Pacheco" in semi-dry oak barrels and infusing them with Madagascar Vanilla beans, we've created a truly unique experience this year. The inclusion of Yirgacheffe and Poaquil Natural adds layers of chocolate and red fruit notes, resulting in a sweet, balanced, and full-bodied cup. It's a tribute to the impactful partnerships we've forged over the years and a reminder of how beautifully sweet it is to make an impact through coffee.

Each of these coffees represents more than just a wonderful cup; they embody a commitment to quality, sustainability, and making a positive impact in the world. As we bid farewell to these exceptional offerings, we invite you to savor every last sip and cherish every moment. Whether it's the earthy richness of Amani, the floral sweetness of Yirgacheffe, or the nuanced flavors of the Anniversary Blend, there's a story waiting to be told - and to reminisce about- in every cup. Thank you for being a part of our journey, and we look forward to sharing many more memorable coffee adventures with you in the future… like the new Eclipse Dark Roast coming in April (yes, just in time for our historical Solar eclipse on April 8!!!)

Let’s keep Brewing Greatness!
