 THE STORY BEHIND

We are really proud to present you what we evaluated as the best Sidama lot from present crop!
We have been delighted since the very first moment by its intensity and subtle fruity character.
Our importer evaluated it as 93 point, but since we are known for our honest scoring, we marked as 88.75 as being a real scoring, still unbelievably outstanding as washed.
You may also notice that there is the lot number, quite unusual for Ethiopia producers (Washing stations or Cooperatives) that's because Konikona mill produced 2 different lots this year, and the one we reserved was only total 30 bags microlot...and the best lot amongst the two!
Konikona Mill produces both washed and unwashed coffees. All the water used for washed coffees comes from the clean Konikona river, from which the mill derives its name. Once the cherries have arrived at the mill the cherries are sorted and pulped in a repaster which is equipped with a mucilage remover. After pulping the beans are fermented in water tanks for 2-3 days before being dried in parchment on drying beds for seven days, during which they are turned regularly to ensure even drying.
After drying all coffees are stored at the nearby warehouse in Daye Town.
Farmers in this region grow not only coffee but also local shade trees such as Warka and crops of wheat, maize and teff.
