About this coffee :

This project aims to assist one of our key producers in Ethiopia, Mustefa Abakeno, to raise the quality of his coffees produced at the two washing stations he owns and manages. Mustefa, 49 and a father of 8 children, is a smallholder farmer with 18 hectares of growing area in Beshasha Kebele, a small village in the Djimma zone of Oromia. 

Harun supports Mustefa’s production overseeing the implementation of improvements at the washing stations. This includes focusing on drying bed management, the storage conditions of the parchment, cherry selection, and the process that informs how coffee is sorted at the farm gate.

One key implementation has been the purchasing and construction of shade netting to cover and protect parchment during the hottest parts of the day to promote slower and more even drying. Harun had also noticed that parchment had been picked from drying beds and stored without moisture content being managed. Lots are now tagged when they reach the drying beds and moisture content is regularly logged, only being moved to storage when they reach the acceptable range. This point will greatly improve the resilience of the coffee’s quality. At the post-harvest stage, Harun has been paying regular visits to farmers firstly to evaluate the health of their plants and offering advice on good agronomic practices including how to carry out selective pruning.

This fully washed makes a lovely morning cuppa. Clean peach fruitiness pair with floral qualities, and finishes with a delightful honey sweet aftertaste. A coffee that we look forward to every day.
