Kima Coffee

About This Coffee

This coffee is a washed microlot from Ethiopia, specifically from the Yirgacheffe region at an altitude of 1950-2200 meters. It is produced by Mustafa Abakeno on his 18-hectare farm using Heirloom varieties from the Jimma research center. The coffee undergoes washed processing with an 8-hour fermentation period before being dried on elevated African beds. The result is a light-bodied coffee with a delicate flavor profile featuring stone fruit, tropical fruit, and white chocolate notes.
