Tesfaye Doni's 1900 meter coffee farm sits just outside the town of Dumerso, within the greater Yirgacheffe region. Due to the regulations on who can export coffee directly, Tesfaye Doni has had to sell his coffee to the government run Ethiopia Commodities Exchange ("ECX"), where it was mixed into regional blends mostly based on physical quality. These regulations were changed 3 years ago, affording us the opportunity for a more transparent process. This is a traditional dry process coffee, meaning the whole coffee cherry is laid to dry on raised beds for upwards of 3 weeks, sometimes more, depending on weather. Expect dried strawberry, natural apricot, and banana bread and a bright, clean shot of espresso.
