Our second Ethiopia release of the year! Habtamu Fekadu Aga (‘Kuri Mountain Coffee’) was founded in 2015 by Aaga Dinsa, the grandson of a coffee farmer in Kuri kebele. The farm Aaga Dinsa inherited from his grandfather continues to serve as the center of the export operation with 105 hectares of planting in Kuri kebele and 837 hectares total including the farms of the 144 registered outgrowers that contribute cherry to company washing stations in Wolega, Guji and Jimma.

Outgrowers in Jejeba deliver cherries to their local collection point, where they are then processed at the Jejeba washing station. The workflow includes pulping, a 48–72 hour submerged fermentation depending on ambient temperature, washing followed by a secondary 12-hour soak, and drying on raised beds for 10–12 days.

Crisp, classic washed Yirgacheffe, where white flowers and bergamot abound in the cup along with a generous peach impression.
