• Origin: Bishan Wate

  “This particular coffee comes from the kebele of Buku Seyisa. The majority of the families that contribute to this lot farm organically on tiny plots of land, averaging under one hectare in size. Coffee is their main cash crop and grows alongside food crops of corn, grain and bananas, under the shade of native Birbira, Wanza, and Acacia trees. The average elevation of the farms in this region is very high – around 2,000–2,200m above sea level – and this, combined with the region’s cool temperatures, is ideal for the slow ripening of coffee cherries, leading to denser beans and a sweeter, more complex cup profile. Most outgrowers who contribute to this lot live within 5-7 kilometres of Bishan Wate washing station, and their crop grows under exceptionally prodigious conditions, which adds to the distinct cup quality of this lot.”
