In the heart of Ethiopia, the Sidama Region is a paradise for coffee connoisseurs, with its fertile highlands and temperate climate. This region is home to the Sidama people and the bustling town of Bensa, known for its commitment to coffee farming. One celebrated coffee farmer from this region is Kebede Nekemo, whose Grade 1 natural coffee is a sensory delight, a tribute to the illustrious heritage of Ethiopian coffee.
Kebede Nekemo’s coffee, nurtured on a solitary farm, undergoes a “natural” process that infuses the seeds with a medley of fruity flavors, sweetness, and body. Once roasted, these seeds transform into aromatic coffee beans. His coffee is not just a beverage, but an immersive experience that takes you on a voyage through the verdant landscapes of Ethiopia. So, as you savor your next cup of coffee, remember the tale of Kebede Nekemo and his dedication to each bean.
