Ethiopia Sawana Washed

Schot Coffee Roasters calls Rotterdam's Diepeveen Gebouw home—a specialty coffee roastery and bar where direct relationships drive the sourcing. They buy green beans directly from farmers and trusted suppliers, paying premium prices so growers can invest back into their land. The lineup leans heavily on single origins: Peru, Colombia, Thailand, Ethiopia, Indonesia—both washed and natural processed, plus a couple of genuinely interesting decaf options. Their cafe is open Wednesday through Sunday, with a Saturday pop-up at the Rotterdamse Oogst Markt. New coffees land regularly; recent additions include a Thailand Mae Jan Tai and taster sets for dialling in filter or espresso at home. No frills, just well-bought beans roasted with purpose.
