Aricha Adorsi - Faysel Yonis, Ethiopia
Another stunning microlot from Faysel Yonis, but this time from Yirgacheffe. In the highlands of Ethiopia’s Yirgacheffe, Gedeo zone, more than 800 smallholder families from around Aricha village bring their freshly harvested cherries to the Adorsi washing station, a project directed by Faysel Yonis and his family. Here, precision and tradition meet: cherries are carefully floated in water to remove underripes, pulped on traditional disc pulpers, then left to ferment for at least 24 hours before a thorough washing. The coffees are dried slowly on raised beds for 10–12 days, allowing flavors to fully develop.
With elevations soaring above 2,100 meters, Aricha’s terroir produces coffees that stand out even in Yirgacheffe, a region celebrated worldwide for its exceptional cup quality. This washed lot brims with layered complexity -opening with delicate floral notes—jasmine, honeysuckle, and lemon blossom—layered with notes of melon and green grape. The cup is juicy and bright, showing flavors of mango, honeydew, red apple, and citrus, balanced by silky sweetness and subtle spice. A finish of matcha, cocoa, and milk chocolate lingers smoothly, leaving a refreshing and complex impression.

At Torque we believe in buying more coffees from fewer producers and fewer origins We go deep rather than wide. We focus our coffee sourcing to work with a smaller group of like minded coffee producers who share our vision for changing the world of coffee.
Preparation Style: Omni, Espresso, and Filter
Our approach to both sourcing and roasting is that every coffee has to be good enough to stand on its own. No blenders, no base coffees, no filler. We take that same approach to roasting and preparation methods. All of our coffees are excellent in nearly every brew method from pour over to espresso.
That being said we have our preferences and so we label our coffees with Espresso, Filter or Omni as a quick way to guide you.

Proportional Pricing
A minimum of 20% of this bag's retail price stayed in the country where the coffee was grown. Built into the price from the start, not sent back later. The higher the price, the more stays at origin. You don't have to trust us on it. The full math is public.

Sustainability Info
We aim for carbon beautiful, not just carbon neutral. Coffee farming done right stores carbon and protects forests, so we'd rather support producers who farm that way than just offset our own footprint. The full picture is on our Carbon Beautiful page.
