Kaffa Bitta

Keffa is a zone in the South West Region of Ethiopia. It is bordered by 3 other prolific coffee producing regions: Oromia, Gambela, and Sheka. The area is part of the “Eastern Afromontane biodiversity hotspot” and is characterized by a rich fauna and flora with many endemic species.

This coffee is sourced from the various farmers around the Maru Mengesha Keto washing station in Degakela, Keffa. Most Ethiopian producers are small-scale farmers who use traditional methods to grow plants, often wild coffee in backyard "gardens" where batches are usually organic by default. The red cherries in this batch were selectively hand-picked and delivered to the washing station. The coffee is then pulped (using a manual pulper) and fermented in open vats for 24-36 hours, depending on weather conditions. Finally, the coffee is washed and soaked before being dried for 15 days on raised African beds.

The resulting cup reminds us of vanilla ice cream, peach and lemon.
