Ethiopia Bombe

Ethiopia Bombe

Light Roast

It doesn’t get much better than washed coffees from Bensa, Sidama. Taste and you will see! Bombe is an immaculate gem sparkling with stone fruit juiciness and harmonious florals to accentuate the aromatics. This is grown at high elevations in the Bombe mountains around 2,000 m.a.s.l. and this causes the beans to pack quite the punch - they are dense with sweetness from slow maturation times due to the cool weather.

The Story Behind the Coffee

The Abore Station is located in the Bombe mountains in Bensa, Sidama. The station is managed by Asefa Dukamo Korma, the site sits at an elevation of 1,920 – 2,020 m.a.s.l and processes both Natural and Washed coffees. Beans are very dense, with heavy concentrations of the smaller screen sizes (the majority of the coffee screen sizes at 13-14) which reflects slow maturation at higher altitudes.

The Washed lot undergoes a traditional wet-fermentation for between 36 and 72 hours, and then dried on African beds for about 12 to 15 days, depending on the weather.

Due to the extremely high elevations, harvest runs on the later end, from December through February. The Abore Station has around 124 temporary employees that are contracted during the harvest season and 4 permanent employees year-round.
