Ethiopian Yirgacheffe - Banko Taratu

Heady Cup Coffee Roasters is a specialty coffee roaster based in McHenry, Illinois, bringing a data-driven approach to an artisanal craft. They work with single origins and signature blends — including their ZaZa line and an adaptogen-rich mushroom coffee — sourcing from small, quality-focused farmers. Every bag sold online means a tree planted in coffee-growing regions; they've planted over 3,500 since March 2023 and helped Ethiopian families start farms. They offer a subscription for regular deliveries, run a coffee cart for private events, and have a roastery open weekdays. Precision without pretension, with real investment in origin communities.
