Aricha Adorsi - Faysel Yonnis, Ethiopia
Another stunning microlot from Faysel Yonnis, 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 Yonnis 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.
Technical Info
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
Out of the $400 billion coffee industry, a meager 5% stays where it's grown, leaving farmers with crumbs. At Torque, we're rewriting this injustice. Our radical approach ensures equity for coffee producers, shifting power dynamics.
Torque Coffees is transforming the coffee industry with Proportional Pricing©, a simple, transparent system that ensures at least 20% of the retail price of every coffee remains in the country of origin. Unlike traditional models that leave producers with scraps, Torque links their earnings directly to the coffee’s retail value, giving them a fairer share. No hidden fees, no complex formulas or giveback schemes—just clear, upfront equity for the people who grow your coffee. By reverse-engineering the supply chain, Torque is creating a fairer system where both producers and consumers know exactly how much value returns to origin.
We're breaking norms, building a fairer future. Torque Coffees reverse-engineered the chain, advocating for a balanced, equitable industry. It's time to empower those who make your coffee. Together, let's dismantle inequality in the coffee world.
Sustainability Info
Since we are all on the consumption end of things we can never get to carbon neutral without stealing the carbon positive from coffee farmers. So instead of aiming for a negative, we are striving to destroy less and be as carbon beautiful as we can.
