Sitting atop a ridge at 2300 masl in Bombe, Nguisse Nare’s 10 hectare farm “Setame” is planted with variety 74158 intercropped with taro and sweet potato. With his two other farms in Kokose and Tiburo he produces natural and anaerobic coffees using his own cherry as well as cherry collected from around 60 of his neighbors. Thomas Tosha is the farm manager at Setame, as well as Demisse Turuma, the Industry Manager (the term of choice for the resident post-harvest processing expert). Nguisse bought the farm four years ago, with a strict focus on quality. He floats his cherry before drying them slowly on raised beds over 20 days.

We are lucky to be able to source and roast this incredible coffee thanks to our partners at Crop to Cup. The brewed cup reminds us of a delectable raspberry chocolate bar. We hope you enjoy!
