  • Description

    We are delighted to offer this very highly scoring (87.5 SCA scale) Grade 1 Yirgacheffe coffee from the farmers of Halo Beriti in southern Ethiopia.

     

    Their coffee forms part of The Lalesa, Gedeb lot, grown at an altitude of 2,150-2,200 MASL. The coffee is naturally grown under the shade of trees, primarily Ensete (false banana tree).

     

    Coffee cherries are initially floated to remove quakers (immature fruits) then placed on drying beds for 12-15 days. Further hand sorting is carried out during the drying period to remove green cherries.

     

    Once dried and stored, the coffee is transported to Moplaco in Gerji, Addis Ababa, and then moved to Djibouti via train for export.

     

    The Lalesa site is owned by Ephtah, which has initiated several social and environmental projects linked to this coffee lot. A daycare center for farmers' children is scheduled to open in Gedeb, and some local women farmers are involved in the Ama Commitment program. Farmers receive prompt payment, with an initial amount disbursed as soon as the coffee is delivered to the site, ensuring timely compensation for their produce.

  • Origin

    Ethiopia is widely accepted (although not undisputed) as the birthplace of coffee. Still to be found growing wild in forested areas, our favourite brew was originally enjoyed in a raw, unroasted state, ground and mixed with animal fats.

     

    Ethiopia is the largest producer of coffee in Africa. Production is somewhere inbetween 4 and 5 million bags per annum. A wide range of coffee is grown, with each region’s production having its own distinctive characteristics.

     

    Very favourable growing conditions are found throughout the country, with altitudes ranging from 1200 to 2750 masl, yearly rainfall of around 2000 mm and temperatures fluctuating between 15 and 25C.

     

    Well known coffee producing regions include Harar, Sidamo, Yirgacheffe, Limu, Djimmah, Lekempti and Bebeka. Ethiopian coffees remaine some of the best and most sought after in the world.
