Kima Coffee

About This Coffee

This coffee is from the Keramo farm in the Sidama region of Ethiopia, located in the Bombe mountains at 2,300 meters above sea level. Produced by Daye Bensa, this natural processed coffee is from approximately 1,500 smallholder farmers who deliver their cherries to the Keramo washing station. The coffee features Heirloom varieties, including JARC 74112 and local cultivated varieties. Due to the high altitude, the beans are very dense with smaller screen sizes (mostly 13-14). The natural process involves drying on African beds with mesh and clean plastic sheets for 14-18 days. Flavor notes include blueberry, blackberry, and blood orange.
