"Smooth, balanced, and roasted for a consistently satisfying cup."
What This Coffee Tastes Like
Djimmah Nyala is a naturally processed Ethiopian single origin coffee from the Djimmah (Jimma) zone of western Ethiopia. Grown by smallholder farmers and made up of heirloom Ethiopian varieties, this coffee is known for its depth, body, and grounded flavour profile.
Unlike brighter washed Ethiopian coffees, Djimmah Nyala focuses on richness and balance rather than high acidity, making it a dependable choice for espresso-focused brewing.
Roast Profile
Espresso Roast
Bold and structured with a full body and smooth, controlled acidity. Roasted specifically for espresso, Djimmah Nyala delivers rich cocoa flavours, roasted nut undertones, and subtle dark fruit sweetness that adds depth without sharpness.
This roast produces good crema and a rounded mouthfeel, performing especially well as a straight espresso and in milk-based drinks.
Roasting Schedule
We roast fresh batches every Saturday to ensure peak flavor and quality. After roasting, we allow the coffee to degas for two days before shipping.
Shipping & Delivery
Orders with Available Inventory: Shipped the next business day (excluding Sundays and Mondays).
Orders Requiring Fresh Roast: If your coffee is not in stock, it will be included in our next Saturday roast and shipped on Tuesday after degassing.
All coffee shipped is within five days of its roast date for optimal freshness.
A fine espresso grind and controlled extraction help preserve sweetness while balancing the coffee’s earthy depth and berry notes.
