Kebede Maro – Ethiopia
orange blossom, cotton candy, lemon fizz
This coffee is from a single producer, it is a natural coffee that is well-produced and dried on raised beds. It's a type of coffee more common in Ethiopia since the liberalization of the industry. We are super excited about the concept and the coffees these farmers are able to deliver.
Kebede Maro is a private medium-sized producer whom we met two years ago. We say medium-sized because he is just in between a smallholder and an estate owner. He is mainly producing naturals. He is located in the woreda of Konga where they are well known for producing some of the best lots from Yirgacheffe. Individual farmers in Ethiopia have been given more freedom to export their own coffee in recent years, but few farmers know where to start. They are not able to reach the importers or roasters on their own, so many continue to sell their coffee to washing stations where they earn a fixed price, and lose their identity by being blended into larger lots.
