Ethiopia Sidamo G1: Bekele Belachew Finchawa
Roasted today, ships within 24 hours Honey first, then the florals, then a grapefruit finish that cleans the cup. Ethiopia Sidamo G1 from Bekele Belachew is a natural-process microlot grown at 2,100 metres in the Sagara village of Bensa, Sidama. Light roasted, it opens on tualang honey, carries chrysanthemum through the middle, and finishes on grapefruit. Six hectares, one family, sun-dried at their home. This is Ethiopian coffee the way the smallholders make it. A Single Farm in Sidama Bekele Belachew farms six hectares under native forest shade, and the whole family does the work: composting, adding manure, and, recently, pruning the trees. The lot is picked by Bekele and his family and processed and dried at their home. Like most small producers in Sidama, Bekele makes natural coffee only, because that is the tradition and there is no pulping machine to hand. The varieties are 74158 and 74160, selections from the Jimma research centre taken from wild plants in the Metu-Bishari forest of western Ethiopia. They were chosen for disease resistance and yield, and they are known for pronounced citrus and floral character, which is exactly what you get in the cup. The coffee reached us through Falcon, who prefinanced this group of Sidama farmers so they were not forced to sell locally for cash. Each farmer holds their own export licence; Buriso Amaje led the group this year and coordinated milling and export with Falcon's team in Addis. Why Coffee Lovers Choose This Lot G1 microlot. The top Ethiopian grade, from one named farm rather than a regional blend. Natural process at 2,100 metres. Altitude keeps the acidity clean; the natural process brings the honey sweetness. Traceable to a family. Bekele, his wife and six children pick, process and dry every bean. Light roasted in KL. Roasted to order so the florals arrive intact, not baked out.
