athari is a washed blend sourced from ethiopia and nicaragua, roasted by colombo coffee & tea specialty roastery. the washed process keeps the cup clean and fruit-forward, bringing out red apple, stone fruit, peach, and tropical fruit alongside honey and honeycomb sweetness. the combination of ethiopian and nicaraguan beans gives it both bright acidity and rounded body. it suits filter brewing well, where the clean processing and layered fruit notes have room to open up. grind medium-fine for pour-over or medium for a batch brewer, and use water around 9294°c to avoid flattening the fruit character.

common questions

What does Athari – Positive Impact Coffee taste like?

athari is fruit-forward and sweet, with tasting notes of red apple, stone fruit, peach, and tropical fruit, balanced by honey and honeycomb. the washed process keeps the flavors clean and well-defined rather than heavy or syrupy.

How is Athari – Positive Impact Coffee grown and processed?

the coffee is sourced from two origins, ethiopia and nicaragua, and processed using the washed method. washed processing removes the fruit before drying, which typically results in a cleaner, brighter cup that emphasizes the beans' natural acidity and clarity.

How should I brew Athari – Positive Impact Coffee?

because it is washed and fruit-forward, athari works well as a filter coffee, where methods like pour-over or batch brew can highlight the stone fruit and apple notes without adding unwanted heaviness. keep water temperature moderate, around 9294°c, to preserve the lighter fruit character.

about colombo coffee & tea specialty roastery

your first sip tells you everything about colombo's commitment to south african coffee. they source directly from local farms in the drakensberg foothills, roasting small batches that fill their durban warehouse with the sweet crack of beans hitting second development. the result hits different than imported options, earthy undertones that speak to natal soil, bright acidity that cuts through morning fog rolling off the indian ocean. this isn't just local pride talking. it's genuinely exceptional coffee that happens to be grown two provinces over.
