Kima Coffee

About This Coffee

This is a washed Ethiopian coffee from the Yirgacheffe region, specifically from Chelchelie village in the Gedeb district. Produced by Tinshe Guye, a young farmer cultivating a small 0.4-hectare plot at 2,100 meters altitude. The coffee consists of heirloom subvarieties known locally as Kumie, Diga, and Wilsho, grown under the shade of Acacia and Sudan Teak (Cordia Africana). The lot was fermented for 36 hours, washed completely in clean water sorting channels, and dried for 16 days on raised African beds. Flavor notes include apricot, bergamot, lime, and jasmine.
