Ethiopia Lekempti


 

Historically, Ethiopia is known as the birthplace of coffee.  In 1960, Ethiopia became a member of the Inter-African Coffee Organization.  Our coffee is sourced from Lekempti, also known as Nek'empte, a region located within the state of  Wollega, about 6 hours west by car from Addis Ababa.  This small farmer's group has joined the Oromia Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union, which was founded in June, 1999.  The co-op now consists of 22,734 smallholder farmer members from all over the region.

These small farms utilize the traditional method of intercropping several agricultural products under the shade of the forest canopy.  The coffee is naturally processed, meaning not washed, and has a wonderfully exotic taste.

About this certified coffee:  Each bag has a certified paper trail leading back to the small farms, confirming that the farmers received fair wages for their hard work and the coffee was grown organically.
