About This Coffee

This coffee originates from the Gedeb region in Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia, grown at altitudes between 1000-1750 meters above sea level. It is a fully washed coffee featuring JARC varieties and local landrace varieties (often called Ethiopian heirloom). The coffee is grown by smallholder farmers on fewer than 5 hectares, using traditional cultivation methods with coffee intercropped with other food crops. The farms are organic-by-default with minimal use of fertilizers or pesticides. The coffee undergoes selective hand-harvesting, pulping, approximately 24 hours of fermentation, thorough washing and grading, and drying on raised beds under shade for 10-14 days. The flavor profile includes lemon, blueberry, bergamot, and apricot notes.

Otara Kava

In the intersection where Ukrainian coffee passion meets Belgian precision, Maryana and Roman Melnyk have crafted something extraordinary from the displacement of war and the determination of love. This husband and wife team first met in Lviv's coffee scene at Svit Kavy, where Roman honed his skills as barista trainer and roaster while Maryana developed her decade long hospitality expertise. They relocated to Belgium to continue their coffee journey under circumstances that transform personal stories into profound purpose. Their roasting philosophy centers on the Spiritual Fauna concept, where each coffee is paired with animals from high altitude growing regions, creating a narrative bridge between Ukraine's word otara (meaning a group of animals) and the global community of coffee producers they support through traceable, socially ethical sourcing.
