PRICING EXPLAINED
*This is the FOB (Free On Board) price: the price paid to the exporter before shipping, and which does not include shipping costs, weight loss (around 17%), storage and other charges. Ultimately, the FOB price represents the $ figure that stays in the coffee's country of origin, benefiting its producer, community, and beyond.
^This is the 'raw' price paid directly to the producer, and paid in the local currency for parchment coffee. The coffee is then milled and sorted before being placed in bags, ready for shipping.
ABOUT
This special lot comprises coffees grown in the village of Anosoro located within the Shakisso district of Ethiopia’s Guji Zone. The majority of families who contributed to this lot farm organically on tiny plots of land, averaging just 2.6 hectares in size.
The cherry was processed at Gemeda Elias, a washing station managed by family-owned exporting company, Tracon Trading. During harvest, freshly picked coffee cherry is delivered daily to Gemeda Elias by some 850 local coffee growers. Here, it's processed under the watchful eye of washing station manager, Gemeda Abdi.
For families who bring their cherry to the washing station, coffee is their main cash crop and grows alongside food crops of corn, grain and bananas, plants that thrive under the shade of Birbira, Wanza and Acacia trees. The average elevation of the farms in this region is very high – around 1,900–2,100 MASL. This, combined with the region’s cool temperatures, ensures an ideal climate for the slow ripening of coffee cherries. The result? Denser beans and a sweeter, more complex cup profile.
