Filter - Ethiopia Nensebo #5 250g

This station used to be sourced through a vertically integration agreement with the Haji Betro Wet Mill. Much hasn’t been known about Riripa rather than its densely shaded forestry located within the borders of the Bale mountain forest to the north east. The area stood out as one of the best for growing coffee given the abundance of rainfall early in the season and occasional showers towards the harvest. Haji Betro hails from the Dodola town which is 45 Km away from Shashemene town. Haji has long been in contact with our supplier for the partnership on the new wet mill which was just constructed in 2019.

Harvest Details

Harvest started in all the major growing areas of Ethiopia in November. Cherry prices were quite high early in the harvest compared to previous years. Yields were overall superior which historically should have meant a reduction in cherry price further into the season, but new regulation and increased competition for coffee prevented it from happening. Coffees allowed to enter Addis for export were departmentalised starting with West Arsi, Limu, Sidamo finishing with Guji.
