ABOUT FEKU JEBRILThis coffee comes to us under the careful eye of the Yabitu Koba manager Feku Jebril, and is grown at some of the highest coffee producing altitudes in the world. Coffees from this region of Uraga are relatively new and have only really existed in their own right for around ten years. Before that they were trucked across the border, blended, and sold as Yirgacheffe. Luckily for us, these unique coffees are now being processed and sold separately, and are some of our favorite flavor profiles from Ethiopia. ABOUT ETHIOPIAN LANDRACEEthiopia is widely acknowledged as where coffee originated, and its production continues to represent about 10% of the country’s gross domestic product. DNA testing has confirmed over 60 distinct varieties growing in Ethiopia, making it home to the most coffee biodiversity of any region in the world. Given the tradition of coffee production in Ethiopia and the political interworkings of the Ethiopian coffee trade, it is virtually impossible to get single variety coffee lots from Ethiopia. This is changing, albeit very slowly. Most Ethiopian coffees are blends of the many Ethiopian varieties, and referred to simply as 'Ethiopian Landrace'. Contains 250g of delicious coffee.
