“BLACK CROW WHITE PIGEON”. EXTRAORDINARY COFFEE STORIES.

Chapter 1

The White Pigeon presents:

The enticing aromas of ripe blueberries, blackcurrants and delightfully sweet vanilla fill the air. There’s a hint of bergamot in there too, reminiscent of a fragrant cup of Earl Grey… Light acidity, like that of forest berries, dances on the palate, making this experience even less likely to be forgotten.

Such flavours and aromas can only come from the distant lands of Ethiopia, famous the world over for the fruity, floral, winey, tea-like coffees they produce. It’s no wonder that this country is also referred to as “the birthplace of coffee”. Flying high over Yirgacheffe, one of the best-known Ethiopian coffee-growing regions, one can admire a myriad of expansive fields, each marked by a different shape, yet all providing sustenance for luscious coffee plants belonging to some of Ethiopia’s oldest arabica subspecies. Huge hammocks are hanging nearby: they’re filled with coffee beans, handpicked and processed carefully by the local farmers. Once no less than 12 weeks have passed, and once these beans have successfully absorbed every bit of sunshine they can get, they continue their journey, blessing numerous corners of the globe with their extraordinary flavours.
