Keramo Lot#1. Café de Etiopía.

About This Coffee

This washed Ethiopian coffee from the Keramo lot is produced by Daye Bensa in the Sidama region at 2,300 meters above sea level. The coffee comes from approximately 1,500 farmers in the Bombe mountains who deliver to Daye Bensa's Keramo washing station. The main varieties are JARC 74112 and local heirloom cultivars. Due to the high altitude, the beans are very dense with smaller screen sizes (13-14). The coffee undergoes wet fermentation for 36-72 hours and dries on African beds for 12-15 days until reaching 10% moisture. Daye Bensa has achieved notable recognition, including 2nd place in the 2022 Cup of Excellence. The flavor profile features bergamot, blood orange, and lime.
