MORE ABOUT THIS COFFEE
This coffee is cultivated by over 232 smallholder farmers in the Dumerso administrative area, including land near St. George’s Church and extending into the Chito village area as well. These growers, working on small family plots—often in their own back garden compounds—uphold generations of coffee-growing traditions, contributing to a truly regional “community” cup. Each smallholder brings their hand-picked, ripe coffee to Dumerso Washing Station, where the cherries join those of neighbors in the washing channels where density floating sorts them into grades. Next the wet cherries move to drying beds where they’re hand sorted to remove underripe and overripe fruits, leaving only the best to dry under the intense Ethiopian sun.

NOTES ON GRINDING: If you choose “French Press” grind, expect it to be finer than usual, so you’re guaranteed good extraction. Some ultra fine coffee particles will make it through the screen and create a flavorful, albeit slightly opaque cup. In other words, we choose flavor over aesthetics. If you want to keep your cup looking cleaner, choose a pour over grind.
If you don’t see your preferred grind in the options then simply let us know in the notes section at checkout and we’d be happy to grind it for your favorite brewing method.
