A DELIGHTFUL CUP FROM THE YABITU KOBA COMMUNITY
This is our fourth season roasting a traceable lot from the Yabitu Koba community, though we have been sourcing coffee from this region of Guji Uraga for a decade. Prior to 2018, regulations of the Ethiopian Commodities Exchange made it challenging to trace lots back to their specific communities, though it did provide benefits to regional cooperatives and establish better wage transparency for cooperative members.
The Uraga region is home to the highest-elevation coffee producing land in all of Ethiopia. Here, most farmers operate small backyard gardens under five hectares, including the garden farms of Yabitu Koba. The Yabitu Koba community now brings their coffee cherries to the Gogugu washing station, which is managed by SNAP. Since being founded in 2017 by entrepreneur Negusse Debela, SNAP has grown to manage washing stations in Guji, Nensebo, and Yirgacheffe, as well as operate their own coffee farms. In 2019 they completed construction on a dry mill where they have complete control of the final stages before export.
This lot is fully washed after undergoing 24-48 hours of fermentation at the washing station. After a short secondary soaking, the beans are put out on raised beds to dry. The attention to detail, from the growers’ backyard farms to the washing station and the export mill, provides a cup with great clarity and sweetness. Our roasting process highlights delicate florals, juicy acidity, and delightful sweetness, expressing the finest qualities we love in Ethiopian coffee!
12 oz / 340 g. Whole bean.
