Founded by Joseph Brodsky, Ninety Plus Coffee have spent the last 15+ years pushing the boundaries of coffee processing and flavour exploration. Initially focused on the coffees from the traditional regions of Ethiopia, and developing world renowned coffees such as Beloya and Aricha, they bought the Ninety Plus Gesha Estate in Volcan, Panama in 2009 to enable full control from seed to cup.
Their Lotus coffee is one of our favourites at Dark Woods, as it’s such a complex, fruity and unusual coffee and yet drinkable too. They designed this coffee in 2014, as a means of testing temperature regulation that occurs in coffee cherries during fermentation and named it after the lotus flower (able to generate heat and regulate the temperature of its blossoms).
