This particular lot of Nano Challa was processed during the "Eid Al-Adha" holiday week, or "Festival of Sacrifice". The holiday commemorates the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son Ishmael. Nano Challa is i the Gera Woreda, with farm altitudes between 1900 to 2100 meters. The Nano Challa Cooperative is part of an initiative our buyer has in Ethiopia to work direct at the coop level. The non-government organization coordinates agronomists and managers for each of the coops, and also has a business adviser assigned that helps the coop manage their debt, re-invest in quality improvements at the mill, and verifies distribution of income to all members.
In the cup it's fruited white honey with kumquat, pomelo, and melon. Hints of cherry, toffee, and hazelnut as it cools. A testament to an excellent farm relationship.
