About this Farm
(From coffeeshrub.com)
- he coffee comes from small holder coffee farmers in the Goro Badessa Woreda of Hambela Wamena, a high altitude region that tops out at 2100 meters above sea level. These lots are made up of coffee from several hundred different farmers, most with only a couple hundred coffee trees or less. You tend to see coffee intercropped with other fruits and vegetables, "false banana" being one the more common food staples to see planted in the Hambela region. The false banana plant has many uses, and is widely utilized for its starchy inners that are often fermented with yeast to make a bread ("kocho"), and the leaves can be transformed into roofs for houses, baskets, and more. The Goro coffee is processed in a nearby town at a privately run wet mill, where they process both washed and natural coffees. This lot underwent several layers of hand picking from the whole coffee cherry to the final milled green coffee in order to achieve "Grade 1" status.
