Ethiopia Gera Jimma Nano Challa

Fresh out of the roaster: Ethiopia Gera Jimma Nano Challa.

This coffee from Nano Challa Cooperative is part of a new initiative we have in Ethiopia to work direct at the coop level. A cooperative can make all kinds of quality improvements, turn out fantastic coffee, and sink deeper in debt all the while. Cooperatives often fail to return a fair and full amount of payment to their farmer-members. Often this is from poor management, and sometimes from graft as well. With this lot we can verity that the great price we paid will result in a fair distribution of funds, a better managed coop, investment in the mill, and even better coffee next year!

In the cup it's sweet, light, and juicy peach notes with hints of apricot and red current. Honey and jasmine floral notes throughout. Light and sweet.
