About the farmer(s)

Guji Arsosala Natural — Ethiopia

This lot was processed at the Arsosala Washing Station. The coffee was grown by about 1200 small-holder farmers who have farms in the surrounding area. The farms are at very high altitudes with coffee grown along with the families' food crops.

  • region Guji
  • farm/farmer Small-Holder Farmers
  • altitude 2100-2310m
  • crop 2024
  • cultivar Bourbon
  • process Natural

This lot is rather unusual as the varietal isn't Ethiopia Landrace as in 99% of coffee grown in Ethiopia but Bourbon, a natural mutation of Typica originating from La Réunion, formerly known as Île Bourbon. Cherries can be either red, yellow, orange or pink when ripe. Bourbon is 1/3rd more productive than Typica.
