Flavour Profile: Wild strawberry, Gooseberry and Hazelnut
Sheka, is in the Southwestern part of Ethiopia. Heleanna bought a 150 hectare farm there 4 years ago and has slowly developed the landscape which is steep and remote with a difficult access.
Initially there were mixed varieties planted here but Heleanna and her team have been trying to create plots of land with specific varieties suitable for the area. The land is rich and covered in dense indigenous forests which provide habitat for wildlife and perfect growing conditions for coffee.
Coffee is floated and then dried on Elevated African Beds. During this time the coffee is monitored and defects are removed.
We buy this coffee directly from Heleanna Georgalis.
