About this Coffee
The Shantagolba Cooperative is part of the larger Sidamo Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union, a group representing over 80,000 farmers in the Sdiamo region. The 1200 members of Shantagolba typically farm heirloom varieties on plots of about 1 hectare, sitting at high elevations exceeding 1800 meters above sea level, delivering ripe cherry to a central washing station at harvest time.
Unlike other countries, in Ethiopia coffees are graded solely based on cup quality and number of defects, not size. Due to the peculiarities of this grading system, many G3 Naturals are quite sweet and cup very nicely.
This coffee is very nice and floral, similar to a black tea like Earl Grey with nice bergamot notes, crisp apple, and is fresh and sweet!
