Another classic example of a brilliant Ethiopian Honey. A no nonsense coffee, with a bright and clean profile.

This coffee reminds us of Peach, Chamomile, Mandarin, Green Tea, Brown Sugar and a Honey & Pear sweetness.

'One of the newer cooperatives within the Kata Meduga union, Kenissa was founded in 2018 and processes and marketscoffee for its 305-310 members who grow coffee in Agaro. We visited Kenissa with Asnake, the Kata Meduga Union boss,in December. As we walked down from the top of the Technoserve-funded mill—at over 2,100 masl—the cooperative’s attention to detail was immediately evident: a worker scrubbed the tank used to hold water for washing to ensure cleanliness, and just a few meters away, raised beds held parchment draped with shade cloth, individually labeled with the collection and processing, ensuring traceability from cherry through final milling. The details matter, and at Kenissa, they show up in coffee. Most of Kenissa’s members grow variety 74110, with some still having a small amount of 74177. The young cooperative’s leadership is unusually committed to its success: former members who have secured their own export licenses to market their coffee directly continue to serve on its board or in management roles to help their community, understanding the cooperative’s value for improving theincomes and livelihoods of its members. This is our first import from Kenissa.'

We suggest letting the coffee rest for 2-3wks.
