Duromina comes from Ethiopia's Agaro region, where more than 400 smallholder farmers grow coffee near 2,000 meters. Don Senel SL28 comes from Finca Cola Roja in Costa Rica's Brunca region, where the Campos family has grown coffee since 1968. Both farms sit high and cool. Both coffees dry on raised beds. That is where the similarities end.

Duromina is washed. Clean and clear, with delicate florals, bright citrus, and layered sweetness. Don Senel dries as whole fruit for 30 to 40 days, which builds sweetness and depth. One is elegant. The other is rich and fruit-forward. Both are roasting now.
