Ethiopia Yirgacheffe

Description

About the producers 

This coffee is sourced from small producers living in the Boji, Kore, Buno, Baya, and Reko communities. Their average farm size is less than 0.5 hectares. Producers transport their coffee to the Kochere Wash Station, which is owned by Adem Kedir, a third generation coffee professional. Here, beans are processed and dried for 7-12 days. The Kochere region’s combination of high altitude, semi-forested shade canopy, and iron-rich, acidic soils creates an ideal growing environment for coffee.  Our Kochere offering was imported by a Kapeh Utz import partner.
