Description
About Hamasho
This selection comes from staggering elevations of the beautiful Bombe Mountains in one of the regions of Ethiopia we have been the most excited about: Bensa Sidama. In the cup we find a very floral, expressive, and refreshing profile of jasmine and nectarine, with a very long limeade finish.
About Ethiopian Landrace
Ethiopia 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’.
