Sheka

Sheka is a zone in the South West Region of Ethiopia. It is bordered by 3 other prolific coffee producing regions: Oromia, Gambela, and Keffa. 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 Haile Estate, a farm in Masha, Sheka. It is owned and operated by Ethiopian Olympic champion Haile Gebrselassie. Gebrselasslie’s farm occupies 1,500 hectares and was a gift to him from the Ethiopian government for his outstanding representation of the country on the world athletic stage. Of the allotment, 200 hectares have been dedicated as forest conservation lands, with the rest set aside for coffee production with an environmentally sensitive focus—adhering to both Organic and Rainforest Alliance standards. It is carefully divided into 51 microlot farming areas to ensure full traceability of each variety. In addition to Gebrselassie’s environmental commitment, his farm offers local farmers in Masha opportunities to train in best agronomy practices and increase productivity and cup quality.

The resulting cup reminds us of lemon, vanilla & black tea.
