This Aleta Wondo coffee is a single-origin offering from the Sidama region of Ethiopia. Grown at an altitude between 1800 and 2000 meters, this coffee consists of indigenous landrace varieties. It is processed using the washed method, involving 48 to 72 hours of fermentation followed by 15 to 21 days of drying on solar beds. The flavor profile features notes of tangerine, wild honey, and Earl Grey tea.
Jerad Jay founded Vesta Coffee Roasters in 2015 in Las Vegas, starting with a micro drum roaster in his kitchen in downtown Las Vegas. The roastery now sources roughly 90 percent of its coffee directly from farmers and cooperatives at origin, with an emphasis on sustainable growing practices and long term relationships. Vesta roasts specialty grade coffee with a focus on balance and precision, letting the nuanced flavors of each lot come through. The operation has grown from that kitchen into a full roastery with multiple locations across Las Vegas, packaging in recyclable nitrogen flushed bags to maintain freshness.
