About This Coffee

This coffee from Taferi Kela in the Sidama region of Ethiopia is grown at altitudes between 2,100-2,210 meters above sea level. It is a washed process coffee featuring Heirloom varieties. The processing involves depulping followed by 24-36 hours of fermentation in concrete tanks with water, creating a low-oxygen environment. After washing and defect removal, the coffee dries for 8-15 days on raised covered beds before resting in warehouse to stabilize moisture levels. The sensory profile features blackberry, nectarine, panela, and rose notes. Produced by Taferi Kela and processed at Bette Buna's washing station.
