Summary

The Shale washing station, located near Worka in the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia, collects cherries from 1,500 smallholder farmers who cultivate coffee using organic, intercropping methods on plots under one hectare. Owned by Haileslassie Ambaye, a pioneer in Ethiopian specialty coffee, the station provides interest-free financing and agronomic training to support farmers. The coffee is processed using the washed method. It offers tasting notes of sweet, apricot, tea, lemon, floral, and a hint of pineapple. Recommended for filter preparation.

The roaster

Fève
Fève

Fève is an independent specialty coffee roaster based in Paris, crafting season-driven roasts that treat each bean like it deserves its own spotlight. They split their lineup into smartly calibrated ranges: Essentiel for approachable single origins that don't skimp on quality, Inspiration for the complex stuff that'll make you pause mid-sip, and Expérience for truly rare lots where no corners are cut. There's even a MILK range built for dairy drinks that actually taste of something. Everything is roasted specifically for its ideal extraction method—espresso or filter. The small team (Ivan, Didier, Paul) runs a Paris workshop that doubles as a gathering spot for local coffee obsessives, and they consult other cafés too. Beans ship from France, and they restock as fresh microlots come through.
