025 Ethiopia — Mr. Ocholo Bedecho
Tasting Notes
Description
The return of a classic: washed Ethiopia /025 is our fresh-crop washed Ethiopian classic, now sourced from the Single Farmer Project. This lot comes from Mr. Ocholo Bedecho in Guji, where native heirloom varieties grow at high altitude in rich red soil. Clean, bright, and layered with bergamot, black tea, and subtle florals. /025 marks the return of our washed Ethiopian classic, this time from the Single Farmer Project—a program that pioneered farm-traceable coffees in Ethiopia. Since 2012, it has allowed roasters to highlight the individual farmer behind each lot, strengthening long-term relationships and transparency. This lot comes from Mr. Ocholo Bedecho, who owns 8 hectares in Oromia’s Guji Zone. His land, unusually large for the district, supports his family of eight children who balance farm work with school. Beyond coffee, he cultivates vegetables and Enset for daily food, but it is coffee that provides both livelihood and opportunity. Grown at high elevations in Guji’s deep red soils, native heirloom varieties here develop a distinct profile: bright fruit, light florals, and a grounding note of chocolate. This cup is both timeless and specific—an Ethiopian archetype with a direct link to a single producer. Ethiopia remains singular in the coffee world: not introduced as a colonial crop, but embedded in culture, history, and daily life. By sourcing through the Single Farmer Project, /025 carries that heritage forward while giving visibility and value to the producer. A clean, complex washed Ethiopian, tied to its land and its farmer, and part of an ongoing story of traceability.
