Ethiopie Alemayehu Hillo
Kolonel Coffee RoastersAbout This Coffee
This coffee comes from Alemayehu Hillo, a dedicated farmer in the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia. He produces around 12 metric tons of coffee annually, with 9.6 tons prepared as specialty coffee for export. The ripe cherries are carefully handpicked and dried on 120 raised beds, turned six times a day for even drying. The drying process takes 18-21 days, ensuring optimal moisture levels. The coffee is processed using the natural method with mixed heirloom varieties. The cup offers a beautifully balanced profile with candy-like sweetness, rich chocolate notes, soft nougat, and a subtle touch of spices. Roasted for espresso.
