The coffee

One of Ethiopia's finest, from one of its most celebrated regions. Sidama produces more top-grade coffee than anywhere else in Ethiopia. This lot comes from Bensa, high in the fertile highlands, where slow ripening at over 1900 metres and more than 100 inches of annual rainfall produce a coffee with uncommon depth. It's part of our Regional Select program coffees chosen specifically to showcase what a single microclimate can do.

Origin

Sidama grows coffee like nowhere else. Spread across fertile highlands fed by rivers, lakes, and relentless rainfall, the region's high elevation keeps temperatures cool and slows the cherry down. The result is a denser, more complex bean than you'd find at lower altitudes and a cup that reflects it.

Process

Honey processed — not what you think. Honey here refers to the mucilage or the sticky layer of fruit left on the bean before drying. Qunqana skips the wash and goes straight to the drying beds with that layer intact, sun-drying slowly until the sugars concentrate into the bean. The result is the tropical fruit, lemon candy, and jasmine you taste in the cup.
