Nano Challa

About This Coffee

A light roast single origin Ethiopian coffee from the Nano Challa cooperative and washing station, founded in 2009, located in the Genji Chala region of western Ethiopia. The cooperative has around 500 members whose coffee cherries are hand-sorted before washed processing using an Eco Pulper. After mechanical pulping, beans are soaked in concrete containers for 3–10 hours, shade-dried for 6 hours, then dried on African drying beds under shade nets for about 10 days. Known for highly aromatic, floral notes with sweet pear and candy characteristics. Most coffees come from organic farming practices.

Leuchtfeuer

Now operating under the name LF Coffee, Leuchtfeuer was established in 2017 in Wedel near Hamburg, investing heavily in technology from the outset with two Loring roasters designed for energy efficiency and minimal carbon footprint. A smaller Loring is used to develop individual roast profiles, which can then be transferred automatically to the larger production machine for consistent batch replication. For competition coffees and their Premium Picks line, a Stronghold roaster handles small batch work with additional precision. Quality control is extraordinary: two color sorters operate before and after roasting to remove impurities and inconsistently developed beans, while five destoners catch any remaining debris. Green coffee is stored in a climate controlled room at 15 degrees Celsius with humidity maintained between 50 and 55 percent year round, and the roastery pays on average four to five times the Fairtrade minimum price, rising to 80 or 90 times for exclusive lots like Panamanian Geishas and premium Kenyan selections.
