The Coffee
Ethiopia Guji Hambela is a bright, well rounded coffee from Hambela Farm in Ethiopia.
Hambela Farm encompasses 200 hectares and employs 28 full time staff, swelling to just over 700 in full season. 70% of these workers are women, and there is a program for farmers in the local area to be able to work closely with agronomists and processing experts to increase the quality of their coffee. The farm itself was created by Aman Adinew and his brother Michael. Previous to this, Aman was director of quality control at the ECX, or Ethiopia Commodity Exchange, and was in charge of the first speciality coffee lab in Ethiopia.
Around 65% of Ethiopia’s coffee growing area is located within the Oromia region with around 150,000 tons a year produced across 88 regions within 13 regions. The coffee from Hambela is grown in the Guji zone.
We roast this coffee light for a cup with notes of blueberry, soft lime, floral and stone fruit. Ethiopia Hambela is best enjoyed black and makes for a vibrant, flavourful espresso.
