More about the coffee:
Bilelign isn't your typical coffee farmer. He’s a trained pharmacist with a passion for producing high-quality Naturals like this one. He’s also working with the exporter, Lulo Coffee, to continue improving coffee processing in Nensebo.
Bilelign and his father, Tadesse Demise, selectively
handpick ripe, red cherry and process it on their farm.
They lay cherry on raised beds to dry. They rake cherry
frequently to ensure even drying. It takes approximately
18 days for cherry to dry.
While Ethiopia is famous as coffee’s birthplace, today it
remains a specialty coffee industry darling for its
incredible variety of flavours. While full traceability has
been difficult in recent history, new regulations have
made direct purchasing possible. We’re partnering
directly with farmers to help them produce top quality
specialty lots that are now completely traceable, adding
value for farmers and roasters, alike.
The exceptional quality of Ethiopian coffee is due to a
combination of factors. The genetic diversity of coffee
varieties means a diversity of flavour, even
between (or within) farms with similar growing
conditions and processing. In addition to varieties,
processing methods also contribute to end quality. The
key ingredients for excellent coffee in Ethiopia are
the producing traditions that have created the genetic
diversity, processing infrastructure and great coffee we
enjoy today.
Most producers in Ethiopia are smallholders, and the
majority continue to cultivate coffee using traditional
methods. As a result, most coffee is grown with no
chemical fertilizer or pesticide use. Coffee is almost
entirely cultivated, harvested and dried using manual
systems.
