Ethiopia: Gera Nano Challa (Copy)
Ethiopia: Gera Nano Challa (Copy)
The name "Nano Challa" refers to a local mythic tale about a challenge to become King of Jimma, and the coop adopted it to signify their desire to be a strong cooperative. Nano Challa was formed as part of an initiative to aid farmers in a more comprehensive way, starting cooperatives that could be governed by the farmers, rather than selling their coffee to privately run mills, and 'middle men'. Nano Challa is a smaller cooperative coffee mill near Gera town in the Jimma region, Western Ethiopia. The area also has some of the finest honey available in Ethiopia. This is from a collection site 2km from the original Nano Challa station called "Genji Challa". The farms are at altitudes between 1900 to 2100 meters, planted in old regional varieties of coffee. This is another beautiful Farm Gate coffee that is good for espresso.
