Entimos ~ ἔντιμος (en’-tee-mos) - adj; held in honor, precious; highly valued, distinguished, noble

Entimos Coffee Roasters started because two guys believed people shouldn’t drink bad coffee. Roasting separately, it wasn’t long before Matt and Tim began exchanging notes on roast profiles and critiquing each other’s coffee. This collaboration caught the interest of friends and family. Soon they began receiving requests for fresh roasted coffee and Entimos Coffee Roasters was born.

Entimos stands on the conviction that coffee is a sensory experience from the time it is planted in the ground until it is tasted in the cup. The same bean roasted one day will taste different the next; from one brewed method to another it will develop subtleties in flavor. There is no single cup that is the “best” coffee. This is what makes coffee so exceptional. The unique experience found in each sip is what drives us to find and roast coffee, giving attention to every detail so that we can share that same experience with others.

As a micro roaster in this wonderful coffee community, our goal is to candidly focus on only a few coffees at a time. Throughout the month we will sample various roast profiles and give you the opportunity to participate with us.

Your coffee will never sit on a grocery store shelf waiting to be purchased. All of our online sales of coffee are roasted and shipped within 24 hours.

It is our goal to educate consumers about the superiority of fresh, single-origin coffee, and contribute to the ongoing conversation, development and improvements in the specialty coffee industry.

Bukonzo Organic Farmers Co-operative Union was started in 2009 to try to increase the prices gained by farmers for their coffee production. This region of SW Uganda has historically been made up of home processed and natural coffees of lower commercial qualities. Recognising the excellent growing conditions for arabica production, Bukonzo invested in 36 local micro washing stations designed to process high quality fully washed coffees, as well as securing organic certification for their farmers. This approach has allowed an increase in premiums reaching the farmers in what is one of the most impoverished parts of the country, creating a sustainable industry for which they can provide for their families. Bukonzo also place a large emphasis on environmental sustainability, using organic fertilisers from local livestock and intercropping with bananas, beans, fruit trees, coco-yams, vanilla, passionfruit, and mango trees.

The Swiss Water® Process uses pure green coffee extract and proprietary carbon technology to remove caffeine from green coffee beans. Swiss Water® has specified the pore size of the carbon to match the caffeine molecule to ensure only the caffeine is trapped when the caffeine is captured from the green coffee extract.

Coffee was first grown on the farm in Masha in 2014. The planting was phased over 4 years with each yield producing increasingly good yields. Manual practices were used for land preparation (slashing, thinning out shade areas, removing trash), harvesting and processing. The farm is managed by an Estate Manager with separate divisions for coffee, spices and honey. Masha is owned by former Olympic champion and world record holding long distance runner, Haile Gebrselassie. The 1,500 hectare coffee estate in Masha is highly conducive for growing coffee with its high-quality Nitisols soil types, rich vegetation and gentle topography. Situated within the UNESCO biosphere reserve of Sheka at an altitude of 1,680 - 1,875m, the estate has an exquisite air quality and one of highest rainfalls (1,800 - 2,200mm) in Ethiopia. The estate is bordered by rivers on three sides and its dense forest areas ensure that the area is one of the richest in terms of biodiversity.
