ETHIOPIA - ADADO
Taste profile: Floral and smooth with notes of tropical fruit and bergamot
Process method: Washed
Arabica variety: Heirloom
Altitude: 1 789 - 1 860 masl
Harvested: January 2021
This coffee comes from the washing station in Adado, near the village of Shara in the district of Guanga. The washing station, and also the titel for this coffee, is named after the local tribe, “Adado”. Coffees in Ethiopia are typically traceable to the washing station level, where smallholder farmers - many of whom own less then 1/2 hectare of land, or as little as 1/8 hectare on average - deliver cherries by weight to recieve payment at a market rate. The coffee is sorted and processed into lots without retaining information about whose coffee harvest is in whish bag or which lot. This makes it a bit hard to trace it all the way to the farmer as the washing station is as close as one get.

KENYA - GAKUYUINI AA
Taste profile: Juicy and sweet with notes of black currant.
Process method: Washed
Arabica variety: SL28, SL34 and Batian
Altitude: 1700 meters above sea level
Harvested: Dec 2021
On the slopes of Mount Kenya, only 1,5 hours from Nairobi, is the washing station Gakuyuini Factory. 1500 coffee producers, almost half of them women, bring their coffee cherries here to have them processed and then sold. Kenya has a well developed structure for trading coffee, with a great deal of transparency, which means the producers gets a large part of the amount their coffee is sold for. For many washing stations, there is a great pride in giving back as much as possible to the producers, which means sometimes they get as much as 90 % of the selling price.
