This
coffee was already on our menu this year, but we are happy to present
to you the Suke Quto Late Harvest Pick.
First
time actually we buy the same coffee twice with a 6 months interval.
The
Suke Quto is an organic coffee from the Oromia Region, and neighbour
of our Sidamo Guji.
The
farm was established in 2005 with the idea to implement
environment-friendly coffee farming practices under the shade of the
natural forest canopy. The original farm, around 1950 masl, was only
5 hectares big but has grown to over 221 hectares now. When a
bushfire distroyed most of the forest surrounding the farm, many
locals started to grown corn and teff on the land (which leads to
soil erosion and will leave the land barren after a few years).
Tesfaye, the owner of the farm, came with the idea to distribute
coffee – and shade-tree-seedlings. Over 150 outgrowers are now
replanting the forest and bringing organic coffee to the Suke Quto
farm for processing.
After
drying and sorting, beans are bagged in Grain Pro bags. These bags
conserve the coffee's flavors way better than the old fashioned jute
bags only.
Expect great florals and green tea notes. Clean cup. Superb mouthfeel. Awesome!
