About the farmer(s)

Konga - Ethiopian Landrace - [washed] — Ethiopia

This coffee was grown by small-holder farmers, each with 1 - 2 hectares of land. The coffee is grown in rich, fertile soils at very high altitudes alongside farmers own food crops. 

Ripe cherries are taken to the washing station after harvesting where they are de-pulped, graded, sorted, fermented under water for 36-48 hours, washed, sorted & placed on raised "African" drying beds where they are dried for 7-14 days.

This lot is Ethiopia Landrace. Ethiopia has thousands of indigenous coffee varieties. We've seen figures of between 6-10000. Some of these have names. There are cultivars, [Bourbon, 74110] & hybrid coffees [Ababuna] available. Ethiopian Landrace are coffees that have come from the coffee forests. They are domesticated, locally adapted traditional varieties.
