Ethiopia Yirgacheffe 1 Kochere Honey GrainPro

Coffee Background

Ethiopia Yirgacheffe 1 Kochere Honey GrainPro is sourced from family-owned farms near the community of Hama in the Kochere district of the Gedeo region of Ethiopia. The Gedeo region is named after the Gedeo people who are indigenous to this area. The Kochere micro-region has long been known as one of the best origins for southern Ethiopian coffee. The combination of very high altitude and iron-rich, acidic soil creates the ideal growing situation to produce the bright, floral Yirgacheffe profile. During the harvest, ripe cherries from small coffee producers are delivered to the Jet washing station where it is carefully sorted, depulped, and carefully drying while the mucilage remains attached to the bean. The Jet washing station is owned by the Adulina Coffee company, which was established by Mahabub Awel, who learned the export business working alongside his father. Adulina Coffee focuses on sourcing specialty coffee and using earnings to have a social impact. Adulina Coffee has invested earnings in school construction, potable water projects and employees a full-time agronomist to help producers with quality, productivity and intercropping.
