Our Arabica Hambella Natural is sourced from Sibu Coffee Producer and Exporter. Farmers cultivate coffee trees in the Hambella District in the much-beloved Guji region.
The soils in the southern and western parts of the coffee-growing regions of Ethiopia are volcanic. Volcanic soil is rich in nutrients and minerals.
Guji coffee has only recently been distinguished from neighboring Sidamo and Yirgacheffe. However, due to their incredible quality and unique profiles, they are quickly gaining international recognition.
The Guji region receives ample rainfall and is marked by steep mountainous terrain: perfect conditions to support the vast array of coffee grown here.
Grades in Ethiopia depend on visual inspection for defects and on cup quality. Grade 1 is considered the highest quality coffee. Grade 1 and 2 are considered specialty coffee, grades 3-9 are classified as commercial coffee. Grade 1 is free of cup faults and taints and has zero quakers.
Sibu Coffee Producers and Exporters source cherry from their own farm, farmers delivering to their 3 washing stations and farmers, washing stations or collectors selling dried coffee to Sibu. Each of their washing stations supports 20 permanent employees and 180 season workers.
