About the farmer(s)

Zinabi - Ethiopian Landrace [Washed] — Ethiopia

This lot was processed in the kebele/town of Adame. The coffee was grown by a community o around 800 small-holder farmers who live nearby, growing coffee on small family plots of land along with their food crops. Cherries are picked when ripe & then transported to the washing station where they are sorted, washed, de-pulped, fermented for 24-36 hours, washed, soaked & then dried on raised beds for 7-11 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.
