This fully-washed coffee hails from one of our favorite Ethiopian farms- Suke Quto. The 2022 harvest is particularly good, featuring notes of juicy tangerine, papaya and passion fruit, with a clean, floral finish. Pour-over methods will really highlight the beauty and complexity of this special coffee.
Suke Quto Farm, located in the renowned Guji growing region, focuses on producing environmentally friendly coffee, in addition to the economic growth of the community. The manager, Tesfaye Bekele, has initiated a project that aims to renew local schools, located in the Odo Shakisso woreda. The volcanic soil there is incredibly fertile, and Tesfaye keeps the soil in shape by organic recycling through litterfall: root residue from coffee and shade trees. After devastating fires ravaged the region in 1999, Tesfaye encouraged local farmers to replant the forest, adding in coffee trees to diversify their ecosystem and incomes. Though initially skeptical, the community has embraced coffee farming. Lucky for us, as they produce some of the very best coffees in Ethiopia. In addition to tasting phenomenal, Suke Quto coffees are all Organic and Rainforest Alliance certified.
