Thanks to its balanced profile, it will delight both lovers of pure espresso and milk-based drinks.
The coffee comes from the Jimma region of Ethiopia, specifically from the Tullu Demtu processing station in the Gera region. The station is located at an altitude of around 2,050 meters and works with farmers who grow traditional Ethiopian Heirloom varieties at high altitudes of 2,100 to 2,200 meters above sea level. Behind the project is Abdo Abamecha, who, after years of experience in coffee export, obtained his own export license and began building production directly in his native region. The Tullu Demtu station has been in operation since 2017 and has undergone significant expansion over the past few years. Today, it features modern technology, extensive drying beds, and a water purification system, and employs dozens of local workers during the main harvest. The emphasis here is on quality, careful sorting, and full traceability of individual lots.
This coffee was processed using the natural method, which highlights the sweetness, fruitiness, and fuller character of the cup. After being hand-harvested, the ripe cherries are sorted in water and then dried on raised African beds. Drying takes place slowly in thin layers over a period of 20 to 25 days, with the cherries being turned regularly to ensure even drying. Thanks to the high altitude, slow ripening, and careful processing, the result is an espresso with a delicate fruity sweetness, a velvety body, and a clean finish. The result is a smooth and sweet coffee that retains the character of premium Ethiopian coffee.
