About the coffee:
This coffee is from Abiyot Ageze, a coffee producer who grew up in the small community of Aricha in Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia. Abiyot operates two washing stations that are located in the communities of Konga and Halo Beriti, and a site dedicated to natural processing near the community of Aricha. In 2017, Abiyot set up his own exporting company called Boledu, named after a river that runs through Yirgacheffe. The focus of Boledu is to put quality first with sustainable practices and experimental processing, such as shade drying coffee, anaerobic fermentation, and building a new quality control lab, as a way to uplift the local community.
