Product Description
A limited release in collaboration with The Phoenician Scheme
An American Empirical Picture by Wes Anderson
In the highlands of southern Ethiopia, past a series of washed-out road signs and terraced eucalyptus groves, lies the steep, green region of Shoondhisa—a place marked by shifting cloud shadows, corrugated roofs, and the slow efficiency of rural systems at work.
At 2,140 meters above sea level, a group of smallholder farmers delivered freshly harvested coffee to a place known locally as Suke.
The station itself—an arrangement of timber racks, canvas covers, and weather-worn clipboards—was run by a man named Ture Waji, though most people in Guji referred to him simply as The King. From this location, in the dry season of late 2024, a particular lot of Gibirinna 74110 and Serto 74112 was sealed into oxygen-poor bags, left undisturbed for 86 hours, and then dried meticulously for 25 days on elevated beds under netted shade.
The resulting coffee—dried stone fruit, clove, and the sort of sweetness that seems engineered rather than grown—was later selected for reasons that remain strategically ambiguous.
An internal memo, unsigned, dated several months later:
“Zsa-Zsa Korda observed briefly at Suke. Claimed to be verifying elevation data.
Brought his own pen. Declined coffee. Left behind a monogrammed thermometer.”
Today, this lot is served exclusively aboard Air Korda—or at least the aircraft not currently grounded by regulatory authorities.
It is also available here, for a limited time and without decorative ribbon, unless it is your birthday.
Distinctive. Balanced. Oddly transporting.
