Introducing yet another delightful coffee: a natural process offering from Limmu Kossa, Ethiopia, produced by Abdulwahid Sherif. This jammy cup bursts with notes of dried strawberry, red apple, and malt reminding us of the feeling of summer picnic in a sun-dappled orchard. It’s sweet, juicy, and warmly rounded, with a luscious texture that shines as a pour-over or drip coffee.

About the Farm:

(From Crop to Cup Importers)
​​​​​​​Kossa Geshe is located in Western Ethiopia's Limmu Kossa District, in the highlands of the Kebena Forest. This 1,000hectare farm was established in 2009 as a land grant from Ethiopia's investment agency to safeguard some of the lastremaining dense forest in the country. Abdul runs the show. His first harvest was 2016 and Crop to Cup has bought everybean since, entranced by his qualities and the cup characteristics from day one. The story of Kossa Geshe is one ofmeteoric rise. In 2016 he began running the farm and two years later his coffee won a Good Food Award - one of the firstcoffees out of the west to earn the distinction and to truly compete with the excellent naturals coming from SouthernEthiopias Sidamo and Yirgacheffe regions. Abdul continues to reinvest. From a new moisture meter, to a new 7500 m sqdrying patio (to go with raised beds) completed in 2018. It goes without saying that quality is continually on his mind.Crop to Cup doesn't normally work with estates, but Abdul has been an exception. So, we've got quality and a few otherthings on our mind when we visit with Abdul. In 2017 we conducted a full social audit with him and came back with quitea few recommendations. The very next year, we come to find that he's built a school on the farm for children before theygo to 1st grade. He's built new toilets for the workers, 8 meters deep. In addition, he's implemented a ledger system foremployees and their wages - a form of transparency that needed to be completed.
