✨ Limited Release - Rwanda Abadatezuka ✨
Our first coffee under the Limited Release Series banner comes from the western province of Rwanda: a remarkable lot produced by the Abadatezuka Co-op in Nsinduke Village and sourced through our partners at Cafe Imports.

In the cup, expect a vibrant profile that bridges some of our favorite coffees. It shares the brightness of Ethiopia Ardi and the chocolate depth of Uganda Rwenzori, while offering its own distinctive character: cranberry at the forefront, layered with notes of grape, red plum, and delicate hibiscus florals. Amongst our team the note of a fancy candy bar has become synonymous with this coffee!

Nestled between Lake Kivu and the Nyungwe Forest, coffee farms in the Cyato sector sit at elevations of 1,850–2,200 MASL, creating the ideal conditions for slow cherry maturation and exceptional bean density. The region’s rich soils, native pollinators, and zero synthetic inputs come together to express this coffee's unique profile.

As this is the first time we have had the pleasure of roasting a coffee from Rwanda, we are eagerly awaiting impressions of your first sip! Available now for canister fills, retail bags, and on bar for pourovers!

New Coffee Release: Ethiopia Ardi

The introduction of the Ethiopia Ardi to the menu is not only a new coffee to Whirlwind but a return of a blueberry forward Ethiopian natural! A signature flavor profile for our coffee menu, the Ethiopia Ardi represents some of the best coffee grown in the Sidama region. Sourced by Keffa Coffee Importers, the Ardi is tailored to match the signature blueberry, tropical, tea like profile all year round by selecting the best lots from that year's harvest.

This Ethiopia Ardi is produced by Daye Bensa, a private, family owned coffee producing and exporting company based in Ethiopia. They work closely with local farmers in the Bensa, Sidama area, own multiple washing stations (including the Shantawene washing station where our lot from last year was sourced from), and manage the exportation of the coffee. Daye Bensa holds a reputation for consistent production of award winning coffee.

We are so excited to get this latest offering from Ethiopia into your cup! The best way to experience the diversity of our coffee menu is through our canister program. Come on by the roastery at 513 Madison St to pick up your own canister and fill it up for the first time with this delicious new coffee. If you are not in the area, check out our website & online subscriptions!

New Coffee Release - Uganda Rwenzori

Our latest whole bean coffee release comes to us from the Rwenzori mountains in Uganda! Grown by a collection of small holder farmers in the Kasese District, this coffee represents a signature flavor profile found in this region of East Africa.

In fact the flavors we taste in this coffee also link up with the profile we often find in our natural processed coffees from Honduras. If you have been a fan of our Finca Caviflor light roast, this will be a familiar friend! While you take your first sips, be immersed in notes of vibrant, candy-like fruit flavors that harmonize beautifully with a deep chocolatey sweetness, all while being enveloped in a cloud of intricate, layered aromatics.

Pick up a bag online or come on by the cafe/roastery at 513 Madison in Oak Park!

New Decaf Colombia ASOMUJER

Our new decaf offering comes to us from the Association of Women Coffee Growers (ASOMUJER) in Timaná, Huila, Colombia. Founded in 2007 by just 10 women, ASOMUJER was built on a mission to create economic independence and opportunity through high-quality coffee. Today, the organization supports 75 women, many of whom are single mothers, activists, and survivors who have rebuilt their lives after leaving regions affected by violence.

So, what does it taste like?

This decaf holds its own, matching the quality you’d expect from a fully caffeinated Colombian coffee. From the very first sip, you’ll notice a remarkable sweetness—warm, nostalgic, and comforting. It reminds us of a classic s’more, with chocolatey richness and a gentle, toasted sweetness that lingers. This coffee, like our previous decaf, utilizes the sugar cane process to pull all that caffeine out of the beans. A safe and natural decaf method that excels in maintaining quality.

It’s a perfect option for those looking to cut back on caffeine without sacrificing flavor and an easy choice for an everyday cup. Roasted to a medium dark profile, enjoy this coffee as a cup of cozy drip or a luscious shot of espresso.
