Morkata Gata • Natural-Processed Guji Heirloom

Unroasted green coffee beans for home roasting. Roast before brewing. Recommended Roast Level City (Light) Tasting Notes "This coffee punches above its gold label class. Lots of delicious complexity sits in this cup if you brew it coarser. A very nice fruited sweetness with that classic natural process Ethiopian stone-fruitiness in the middle of the cup. As it cools you get a very pleasant floral essence, all bundled up into a great tea-like mouthfeel." -Jonathan, Head Roaster Newland Coffee Connection Our relationship with Newland coffee (Brendan) began when we were cupping with our friends at Necessity coffee in Encitas. Brendan happened to be there at the time and hopped into the cupping with us. He mentioned that he was an importer looking to get the ball rolling on this new venture of his and we exchanged info, kind of your typical networking chit chat. A month goes by I’m in the shop and Brendan swung by, said hi, and dropped off a sample of an auction lot of Guatemalan and some Ethiopian coffees. We cupped them like we usually do samples and were very impressed with the complexity of these Ethiopian coffees from Morkata. Immediately we knew this was looking to be a great partnership and bought a pallet of Morkata’s washed and natural offering. We had the pleasure of meeting Morkata spring of 2026 at the World of Coffee conference, and we hope to make it to his operation in Ethiopia and learn even further about him and his methodology in coffee production Q4 of 2026.
