Ethiopia, Jimma, Mustefa Abakeno / 2000 - 2100 masl. / Heirloom / Washed / SCA – 84.50p

Mustefa Abakeno, a dedicated smallholder farmer in the picturesque Jimma Zone of Western Ethiopia, manages an extensive 18-hectare farm. His farm is a testament to the rich coffee heritage of Ethiopia, featuring a diverse array of coffee varieties sourced from the esteemed Jimma research center. Mustefa's processing methods seamlessly blend traditional techniques with innovative practices, resulting in exceptional coffee beans that honor Ethiopia's esteemed coffee culture.

At the beginning of his endeavour, Mustefa purchased a three-discs Coffee Pulper to process half of his harvest using the Fully Washed method. However, due to water scarcity and limited fermentation space, he adapted his approach. The pulped coffee underwent a brief eight-hour fermentation process before being skillfully transferred to drying beds, until reaching the optimal moisture content. This process creates a wonderfull complexity, that compliments the traditional profile of Ethiopian coffee.                          

Roast info

This coffee is roasted for espresso, meaning that it will present with higher intensity, rich texture and sweetness, lower acidity and more distinct caramelization flavours. Espresso roasts have higher solubility, meaning that you will be able to access the coffee flavours with more ease. Even though it is more suited for espresso machines and mokka pots, you can definitely enjoy it in any other method as well if you're looking for a richer cup. Espresso roasts are at their best starting from 2 weeks from the roast date, so take your time with it.

Use and storage

We recommend you enjoy this coffee within 3 months of the roasting date.
Store in a dry and cool place, between +16 and +25 degrees.
