Tamiru Tadesse is a coffee supplier who has been in the coffee business for the last eight years. He works with about 200 farmers in Delo Kebele, Bensa zone of the Sidama region. He collects about 182,000 kilograms of red cherry from an estimated 80 hectares of land owned by the farmers. Tamiru processes anaerobic and natural coffee which is dried on a raised bed with mesh wire. He then sells his coffee on the international market, mostly in China. However, he says, he was interested to have new market destinations and promote the unique flavours of Bensa coffee.
This particular lot is from a friend of his from Yusuf Washing Station over in Nensebo, another growing region from where Alo washing station is. Nonetheless it's an incredible expression of high altitude, well processed and sorted Ethiopian coffee! THe JARC 74158 variety continues to shine and a slightly warmer drying temperature gives more fruity notes to this coffee which is perfect for Espresso and Milk Based drinks in our opinoin!
All this results with an excellent coffee, with such high quality from the terroir, growing conditions, and excellent processing. This coffee punches well above it's weight and price range, and is one of the nicest Ethiopian Natural coffees we've had.
