This lot from Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia is produced by Kefyalew Obese, a man who comes from at least four generations of coffee growers. After inheriting the 6-hectare farm from his parents in 2008, Kefyalew began producing Wolisho, a varietal typically found in the Ethiopian highlands. Co-operated with his child, Melesse, the Obeses are trained to pick cherries at optimal ripeness and are constantly experimenting with new processing methods and times. Their proven technique has been trying small lots in many different stations, followed by replicating the best station’s process and continuing in this way until a satisfactory product has been achieved.
