Heirloom - Drip coffee bags

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.                

This coffee is roasted for filter - meaning, a light roast. We roast our seasonal coffees in this manner because we wish for the coffee to shine as it is - for it to display the characteristics that have produced its excellent quality. This kind of roast allows the natural flavours, acids and sugars of the coffee to be in the front, and lets you learn about its origin through taste.

Store in a dry and cool place, between +16 and +25 degrees.
