Country of origin: Ethiopia
Region: Oromia, Guji, Shakiso
Farmer: Tesfaye Bekele
Farms: Suke Quto and Welena
Growing altitude: 1800 -1930 m above sea level.
Variety: 100% Arabica, local variety
Process: Washed Coffee

The fruit flesh is removed mechanically and it ferments in water for 35 - 48 hours, depending on the temperature. It is then rinsed and left in water which, to a great extent, flushes sugar out and features pleasant fruity acidity.

Welena plantations and Suke Quto are located in the Oromia region, in the area known as Shakiso. Coffee from this area is much more fruity than that from the neighbouring Yirgacheffe and Sidamo. This is due to the cultivation of fertile volcanic soil and the processing method including long fermentation. The farm covers nearly 90 hectares, full of mountains and valleys. What is important, the farming is completely organic - no pesticides are used, soil is additionally fertilized with waste from the coffee plant shrubs, and the coffee farming is combined with farming of other fruit.

The founder of the plantation and processing station is Tesfaye Bekele, an expert on agronomy, economics and, of course, coffee. His coffee adventure began in 2001 - since then the farm has been constantly developing and, as a result, the production and bean quality has been growing. Its direct cooperation with Johan & Nyström roaster started in 2012 and has been bringing sensational effects - 300 bags of beans are bought after each harvest and the farmers are rewarded for the product quality and receive a 30% higher salary than the Fair Trade rate.
