New coffee on the menu! A coffee from Boledu, an organization formed by friends and stewards of the area Abeyot Ageze and Mebrahtu Aynalem.
This harvest marks our fourth consecutive year purchasing coffee from Mebrahtu and Boledu, a relationship that has grown alongside their own operation.
Because Abeyot is from the Halo Beriti area, he has built strong relationships through producer trainings, profit sharing, and processing farmer lots individually whenever possible to maximize quality and farmer returns.
The lot is composed of the Wolisho and Dega varietals, two of Ethiopia’s well-known heirloom varieties. Ripe cherries were delivered to the Halo Beriti washing station, where they were floated before being moved to raised beds to dry in the sun for 15-21 days. During drying, the cherries were regularly turned to ensure even moisture loss. Once dried, the coffee was prepared for export through Boledu’s newly commissioned dry mill, completing a fully integrated harvest under their own management.
