Basha Bekele, Ethiopia
Seven Seeds Coffee RoastersAbout This Coffee
This sun-dried natural processed coffee is produced by Basha Bekele from the Bensa Highlands in Sidama, Ethiopia, at 2300 meters above sea level. Basha Bekele won the Ethiopia Cup of Excellence with a score of 90.50 in his first competition entry. This lot features mixed varieties and is naturally processed. The coffee offers elegant florals, wonderful texture, and flavor notes of lemonade, cherry, and pineapple. The Bensa Highlands region has experienced climate shifts over the past fifty years creating ideal conditions for coffee cultivation, with high altitude limiting water access and resulting in a preference for natural processing. This is the fifth year of purchasing from this producer, with a lot size of 900kg harvested between November and December.
