This coffee is grown by 1st place COE winner (2024), Basha Bekele, on his farm in Bombe, Bensa, Sidama.

This coffee is incredibly special as it represents one of the very few fully traceable (to a single producer) lots to make its way out of Ethiopia. 

This is also Basha Bekele’s first attempt at a washed process, resulting in a unique take on 74158 variety.

The processing of this lot is unconventional and entirely new to Basha Bekele, while the intention was to produce a fully washed coffee, there are plenty of nuances to processing. Upon removing the seeds from the submerged fermentation it was realized the mucilage hadn’t been removed fully and so was moved to raised beds to dry as one would with honey process, creating this incredibly unique coffee celebrating the intersection of intention and randomness.
