Behind the Beans
When the coffee flower blooms, it’s a beautiful white flower. Abyssinia is an ancient name from this area of Ethiopia. This name pays homage to both.
Our Abyssinian Flower coffee is sourced from the Uraga wash station, which is located in the Guji Zone of Oromia and is owned and operated by Haileslassie Ambaye. Nearly 900 producers living in the community of Haro Wachu help produce this amazing coffee.
Producers deliver ripe cherries to the Uraga wash station where they are sorted and immediately placed on raised beds and dried over a period of 15 to 20 days. Raised drying beds are carefully constructed to ensure proper air circulation and temperature control for an optimal drying process. Cherries are also turned regularly on the beds to prevent damage.
Once dried, the beans are transported to Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, to be milled and prepared for export.

What do I need to know about shipping chocolate?
Shipping chocolate is a delicate adventure - especially in summer.
Our chocolate is especially vulnerable to the effects of temperature fluctuation because we avoid the use of all stabilizers, preservatives, and fillers.
Our summer shipping protocol is currently in place:
- We only ship chocolate on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Orders placed between Thursday and Sunday will ship the following Monday.
- We occasionally make the tough call to postpone shipping on hot days. We will always update you accordingly.
- We recommend all chocolate orders are sent by USPS Priority Mail Express.
- We cannot offer refunds on chocolate shipped during the summer using USPS Ground or USPS Priority Shipping.
- While we can only offer refunds to customers who have selected USPS Priority Mail Express shipping for their chocolate, please contact us if you are unhappy in any way with your order and we’ll do what we can to make it right.
See our FAQ page for more details on chocolate and temperature!
United StatesTasted decent, but 3 weeks (to the day) old when I got it.
I have a relative who only gets his coffee from Maps. I told him that I would give it a try. He told me which ones he liked. He said he never tried Abyssinian Flower before and it's pretty popular. I took that as Maps must roast it often, but apparently not. I usually only get my coffee from roast-to-order places, because I know how downhill coffee can taste after the freshness has waned. I received my order in just a few days (I'm local, but disabled and don't get out much) So, while I thought the coffee tasted decent, it wasn't the best coffee I got in my order, but it was definitely the oldest and now I'm forced to drink it up if I want it as fresh as possible.
Best roasted beans
We really like Maps coffee. Our favorite is to blend Ethiopian and Island Of Gold For our morning eye opener. Maps provides the best roasted beans and we grind them at home for maximum freshness and taste. It�s well worth it to make the drive from Topeka to Lenexa to get the best coffee around!

I live in Tennessee and whenever I travel to KC, I stop in and pick up a few bags, hang out and have a cup and do some emails. Get the “Milk” roast, it’s the best coffee I’ve ever had.
