Kima Coffee

About This Coffee

This Ethiopian coffee comes from Gedeb Village at 1,950-2,200 meters altitude. It is produced by Snap and features Heirloom varieties. The coffee undergoes a washed process where hand-picked cherries are selectively harvested, depulped, and fermented for 24-36 hours. After fermentation, the parchment is thoroughly washed, separated by density, and soaked in spring water for 12-24 hours. It is then dried on raised beds for 10-14 days with regular turning and hand sorting. The coffee offers tasting notes of lemon sorbet, pineapple, peach, and orange blossom. The farmers use chemical-free cultivation methods passed down through generations.
