Coffee of the month

This amazing coffee from Ethiopia has all the "funk" that we love that coffee can have. It smells amazing and it tastes amazing. It has the clear and clean taste that a washed coffee usually has and has a really good mouthfeel. It is a coffee for the adventurous coffee drinkers who want to change their perception of what coffee can be.

The washing station in Coba collects coffee berries from 116 producers. Independent growers receive a premium during the harvest (1-2 birr more than the market price) as well as profits from sales. During the harvest, Habtamu provides accommodation and meals for the pickers.
Throughout the year, producers are trained in organic farming methods and selective harvesting.

Coba refers to the name of the village (Koba) where the station is located, but it is also the name of the leaf of an endemic plant: Ensät (Abyssinian banana tree). The leaves are used to bake bread and the fibers are used to make rope. They are widely used on plantations in the south, such as the Gedeo and Sidama regions. The washing station processes natural and fully washed coffee. There are approximately 260 drying beds. 60 people are assigned to each drying bed to maintain constant quality.
