NGUISSE KEYAMO

Farmer: the Keyamo family Origin: Bensa, Ethiopia Process: natural anaerobic Varietal: JARC 74158 Roast level: light In the cup: pink grapefruit, blood orange, black cherry Also spelled "Nguise Kayimo", This is a new producer to our offering. Part of a new wave of Ethiopian projects we wanted to buy from, chances are, the only reason we got this one was Christopher Feran's work in Ethiopia, so the trickle down, fortunately, made its way to us. We feel like broken records but this coffee is again, one of our favourite of the year...unbelievably bright and fruity. Thickly sweet, but not a one trick pony. We hope to be able to continue to buy from this project. Nguisse Keyemo manages a 15-hectare farm with his four brothers, two sisters, and his second eldest of eight sons, Tarekegn, supervising their processing facility. Nguisse himself is in his late 40s, and has been recognized for quality through the Ethiopian Cup of Excellence, with a focus on anaerobic processing.
