Producer and Region

This coffee comes from the Coba station in Uraga, Guji, where cherries are collected from 116 independent growers farming between 2,100 and 2,300 meters above sea level. The station is managed by Habtamu Fekadu Aga, whose long-standing commitment to quality and fairness has shaped his work in the region.

Coba is not just a place but it’s also the name for the leaf of a banana plant, traditionally used in baking and weaving. It reflects the connection between land, culture, and everyday life in this part of Ethiopia.

Cultivation and Processing

This lot is made up of Ethiopian heirloom varieties. After careful handpicking, cherries are dried slowly on raised beds, with constant attention from the team on-site. The result is a well-structured and aromatic cup.

Beyond processing, Habtamu’s approach centres on long-term support. Producers are trained in organic practices and selective harvesting. They receive harvest premiums and a share of the final sale. In the surrounding communities, Habtamu contributes to local development; helping building a school, improving roads, and providing access to drinking water.

Flavour

Rich, sweet and balanced, with bright acidity and a round, soft mouthfeel. The profile leans into floral and stone fruit qualities, with subtle notes reminiscent of elderflower, bergamot, peach and lightly baked biscuit.
