The coffee we ship is usually roasted within the last two weeks.

This coffee is sweet and balanced with notes of stone fruit and dried fruit, rounded off by a slightly nutty note. It is a versatile coffee with great qualities for both filter and espresso brewing. The Gedeb district is situated in the fertile highlands of southern Ethiopia. Here, the conditions to grow coffee are ideal: high altitudes, rich volcanic soil, and consistent rainfall. Gedeb used to be part of Kochere, before it was turned into a new district almost twenty years ago. It borders the well-known Yirgacheffe district and Gedeb coffees tend to share many of the sought-after attributes the neighboring district is famous for.

The coffee was grown and harvested by around 400 smallholder coffee farmers, most of whom produce small to very small quantities. Therefore, they do not have the facilities needed to process the coffee themselves. As is usually the case with smallholder coffees, they deliver their coffee to a centralized washing or processing station. In this case, it's Fair Coffee s facilities in Yirgacheffe, where the coffee is sorted and dried for about 25-35 days, before it is being prepared for export.

Ethiopia

One of the most famous countries that grow coffee – if not the most famous one, Ethiopia is known as the origin of coffee. It is Africa's second most populous country and one of the biggest economies of East Africa. It has a rich and long history of coffee tradition, both in regards to production as well as consumption.

Ethiopian coffees have a special place in many specialty coffee enthusiast's heart. Though many coffee drinkers may have a specific coffee or region in mind when they think of Ethiopia, the country offers a wide range of different flavor profiles.

It is common for Ethiopian coffee producers to only tend to a very small amount of coffee plants. These smallholder farmers do not usually process their coffee themselves. Instead, the harvested cherries are brought and sold to a processing facility, such as a washing station. These are often run by the companies who export the coffee. However, in recent years it has become a little bit more common to find single-farm coffees from Ethiopia, too, such as our Buku Abel. As is common in many other growing countries, these coffees come from a single farm, which carries out the processing on site.

As Ethiopia is a land-locked country, the most common trade route of Ethiopian coffees is through the port of Djibouti.
