This exciting coffee is produced by Bekele Legie, a single producer, based in Konga in Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia. Bekele is in between a small holder and an estate owner. He produces mostly naturals.
For many years it was basically impossible to find any traceability to the farmer level in Ethiopia. Not to mention single producer coffees. Until a couple of years ago this was just the way it was with Ethiopian coffee market. Since the liberalisation of the industry it has been more common to come across single producer coffees out of Ethiopia. What makes Bekele especially interesting is the fact that he is exporting his own coffee himself.
For us this coffee was a real standout on a cupping table. Such a clean natural processed coffee.
We found this coffee to be very very clean and insanely aromatic. Fantastic natural. Tasting incredibly sweet with notes of peach, strawberry and tropical fruits with bright lime like acidity and smooth comforting milk chocolate note in the aftertaste.
