We love natural processed coffees from Sidama, and this one comes to us from the Shantawane Washing Station. Shantawene can be found near the base of the Bombe mountain in Southern Ethiopia. The station pays premiums to smallholder farmers to deliver extremely high-quality and freshly picked cherries. In turn, the majority of coffee is delivered to the station from growers in the nearby villages of Shantawene and Bombe and doesn't have to travel far. Upon arrival at Shantawene, the cherries are evaluated based on color, ripeness, and density before being floated. The cherries are then dried on raised beds and rotated consistently to ensure even drying.
Note: Since coffee is an agricultural product, subscriptions for single origin coffees may change based on availability. We always source similar taste profiles and notify of any upcoming changes.
