Ethiopia Single Origin; 12oz. [FREE SHIPPING]

Our Single Origin Ethiopia honors the Ethiopian Highlands with this label. The southern part of the Ethiopian Highlands is where the medieval Kingdom of Kaffa was. It was in this fertile area that is considered the birthplace of coffee. Ethiopia began the trade of coffee to Arabia and has remained one of the leading exporters to the world market since the 15th Century. Ethiopian coffee is generally still farmed in small "garden coffees" using many traditional techniques. This specific coffee is termed "Ethiopia Natural" due to the traditional methods used for drying and removing the beans from the cherries. In this organically grown coffee, we note a tasting profile that can be described by: Bright Acidity, Creamy Body, Sweet Molasses, Cardamom, and Floral notes. If you like dark, rich coffee - this is not for you.

Farm Information:

It is thought that the coffee plant was discovered in Ethiopia, where coffee is more than an income producing crop and is part of a long lasting culture. Coffee is Ethiopia’s main export commodity, contributing to the livelihoods of more than 15 million farmers and sector workers.

This coffee grown in the Oromia zone on family farms and is processed in a local cooperative. The traditional processing method provides a truly remarkable naturally processed coffee.

• With every purchase, we fund the planting of 1 tree through the 'Trees for Education Program', formed by the collaborative efforts of UNASDG, Imani's Board and Embu officials. After year 1, the tree is included in the program that leverages the International Carbon Market through the UNASDG, and provides desperately needed funding for a school for orphans in Kenya.

• We are a member of the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA), which has the purpose to “foster global coffee communities to support activities to make coffee a more sustainable, equitable, and thriving activity for the whole value chain.”

• We are a member of World Coffee Research. This is a non-profit that unites the global coffee-industry towards a sustainable supply of quality coffee for generations to come. Not just because coffee tastes good, but to protect the livelihoods of thousands in many of the world’s poorest regions. It assists farmers with the tools, knowledge and plants necessary to adapt to the changing climate. It includes research on new varieties, techniques, and support to small, local farmers who are often the furthest from innovation.
