Stat Sheet

We bought the same coffee from the same farmer but processed two different ways. We talk a lot about the different processing methods of our coffees but thought it’d be fun for you to try and compare the difference it makes and the way it changes how the coffee tastes, or what remains the same!

 

This is the washed process. A bit brighter, lighter, and more tea like compared to the naturally processed version.

 

About the farmer:

Tesfaye Bekele is one of the people that put Guji specialty coffee on the map. While the Guji zone was dominated by cattle farmers, he sought new ways to make coffee popular in Guji. “I don’t consider myself to be a coffee farmer, because coffee is everything to me. All my time and energy are placed into the beans that I harvest and process.” Tesfaye Bekele, the founder of Suke Quto Farm, explains. “I come from a coffee-producing family, so during my childhood, I started to work with coffee early on”, Tesfaye continues, “At first, coffee did not have my interest. The labor was hard, and the days were long. But after several years of study and other work I returned to my home in the Shakisso woreda, Guji. I found myself in coffee again.”
