Reinaldo Chilito

Ilse is a specialty coffee roaster based in North Canaan, Connecticut, showcasing single-origin coffees from farms like Chelbesa and Duromina in Ethiopia and the Ortegas in Colombia. They focus on washed lots — think Landrace, Pink Bourbon, SL-28 — roasted to tell each lot's story with depth and clarity. No flash, no filler: just transparent sourcing and clean cups that take you somewhere beautiful. They offer subscriptions and ship domestically free over $50. If you're into traceable, fruit-forward single origins with a sense of place, Ilse is worth a try.
