ETHIOPIA HAMBELLA DEGFA 1KG
This coffee continues a collaboration that goes back to the very beginning of our journey. Israel Degfa was one of our very first partners when we started in 2019, and over the years his work has played a defining role in shaping how Ethiopian coffee is presented to the world.
Israel Degfa is widely regarded as the largest coffee producer and exporter in Ethiopia, operating an extensive network of washing stations and dry mills across key regions such as Guji, Yirgacheffe, and Sidamo. Beyond scale, his impact lies in structure and consistency - investing heavily in farmer relationships, traceability, processing infrastructure, and quality control, while supporting tens of thousands of smallholder producers year after year.
This particular lot comes from the Hambella washing station in the Guji zone, at an altitude of around 2,200 meters above sea level. The high elevation, combined with local heirloom varieties and a classic washed process, results in a coffee that balances aromatic complexity with approachability - a profile that fits naturally into our Foundation category.
Harvest begins with careful hand-picking, often done in multiple passes to ensure only fully ripe cherries are selected. Cherries are delivered to the washing station on the same day they are picked, where they are pulped immediately, removing the skin and fruit while leaving the beans coated in mucilage.
Fermentation then takes place in water-filled tanks for a period that can range from 24 to 72 hours, depending on altitude, temperature, and water conditions. During this stage, native yeasts and bacteria break down the remaining mucilage, setting the stage for the clarity and definition that washed Ethiopian coffees are known for.
After fermentation, the coffee is thoroughly washed and passed through density channels, allowing heavier, higher-quality beans to sink while lighter defects are removed. The selected beans are then dried slowly on African raised beds for up to three weeks, with regular turning and protection from intense midday sun. This slow, controlled drying stabilizes moisture and water activity, contributing to the coffee’s transparent structure and layered aromatics.
In the cup, this Hambella lot is expressive yet comforting. Floral notes of elderflower lead the aroma, followed by gentle caramel sweetness and ripe stone-fruit tones reminiscent of apricots. The acidity is lively but well-integrated, adding freshness without overpowering the cup.
A familiar origin, a long-standing partner, and a profile we consistently return to - this washed Hambella represents Ethiopian coffee in its most balanced and dependable form.
