Supremo Exquisite is a specialty-grade Ethiopian profile coffee from the Koke Farm, grown at 1,800 meters by the Guadalupe Cooperative. Java variety, washed process, 86+ SCA cupping score. The washed process produces a clean, crisp cup that lets the Java variety’s floral and citrus character come through without the added fruit complexity of natural processing — jasmine aromatics, bright citrus notes, gentle harmonious sweetness, balanced bright acidity, medium smooth well-rounded body.
The 86+ SCA score is why this is the highest-priced coffee in the catalog. An 86+ cupping score means this lot was formally evaluated by trained Q-graders against the Specialty Coffee Association’s 100-point scale; 86+ is the SCA threshold for specialty-grade designation. This lot cleared it.
Available in whole bean or ground, 12oz or 5lb.

Grind fresh immediately before brewing — the floral aromatics in a washed Java at this score level are volatile. Burr grinder, medium setting, ground immediately before the kettle is off the heat.
Supremo Exquisite sits alongside the Shrine Blend Cup of Excellence winner and Golden Harvest Geisha+Java natural process as one of three specialty single-origin standouts in the catalog. Washed vs. natural is the key distinction from Golden Harvest: this is cleaner, brighter, and more origin-focused; Golden Harvest is more complex, fruit-forward, and aromatic. Both reward attention. This one rewards a pour-over and 10 quiet minutes.
