About the Coffee
Origin
The Jimma Zone in Ethiopia's Oromia region represents a remarkable coffee-growing landscape characterized by high elevations, rich volcanic soils, and diverse microclimates. This mountainous terrain, ranging between 1,800-2,200 meters, creates ideal conditions for cultivating complex, nuanced coffee with exceptional flavor profiles.

Producer
Mustefa Abakeno is a pioneering farmer-exporter managing an 18-hectare farm and the Beshasha wet mill. After regulatory reforms in 2018, he began directly engaging with specialty buyers, investing in infrastructure and collaborating with agronomist Harun to enhance cherry selection, processing techniques, and overall coffee quality.
Process
Cherries are meticulously processed using a fully washed method. Fresh cherries are first floated to remove immature beans, then pulped and fermented for 8-12 hours. After washing and channel separation, beans are moved to shaded skin-drying areas where defects are carefully removed, then spread on raised beds under shade netting for 7-10 days.
Tasting Notes
A vibrant and complex cup revealing sweet tangerine and blackberry flavors, complemented by delicate floral notes of orange blossom and caramel notes. The coffee presents a bright, citrusy acidity with a long, sweet aftertaste that lingers pleasantly. Minimum Resting Period: 10 days for espresso roast, 8 days for filter roast
