Farmer Direct Lot - Meselech Tubie - Unroasted Sidama Shentawene Village - Washed G1 Ethiopian Specialty Coffee - 5lbs
Meselech Tubie is a remarkable coffee farmer and a nurturing mother of five, hailing from the enchanting landscapes of Bensa Sidama. With a 3.5-hectare farm that carries the legacy of her father, Meselech's journey into the world of coffee began in the 1990s, where her inherited land became the canvas for her dedication and expertise.
Her coffee processing journey begins with the careful harvest of ripe red cherries, a task typically carried out by hand. She invests significant effort in selecting only the finest cherries, ensuring the beans' utmost quality. After arrival, the cherries undergo an additional round of manual sorting, where less dense ones are separated.
The chosen cherries then undergo a sunlit transformation. Arranged on raised beds, the selected cherries are spread out in thin layers to dry under the sun's warmth. Meselech employs African Raised Beds, allowing air to circulate around the cherries, promoting even drying. Regularly turned, they are protected against mold, fermentation, or decay.
