PRODUCER'S DETAILS

This is a high intervention anaerobic natural coffee from Hambela, a woreda in west Guji, Ethiopia produced by smallholders organized around our processing and export partner, Tracon Coffee. 

Tracon Coffee, a 30+ year veteran organization of the coffee industry. Tracon’s interests extend from farm and washing station ownership and management to running a dedicated cupping lab and a 30,000 square foot coffee processing facility that allows them to mill and finish coffee for export on-demand.  

OTHER DETAILS

This lot is a combination of the usual local landraces from the region. In this case, Kurume (Kudhume) is known for small fruit and compact size, while Dega (Amharic for a “high, cool place”) is a medium-sized tree that unsurprisingly prefers planting at higher elevations, and Wolisho (Walichu) is a tall tree with large fruits but inconsistent seasonal yields.
