We are delighted to welcome back for a second year one of our favourite coffees. Last year this stunning organic and Rainforest Alliance certified coffee from the Suke Quto Farm in Ethiopia completely blew us away on the cupping table. We cupped it alongside a host of other Ethiopian coffees, and the moment we tried it there were no words, just a knowing look between myself and Mike that here was something special. It had all the hallmarks of high-grade washed Ethiopian coffee, with beautiful florals and notes of peach and bergamot, but with an intensity of flavour that elevated it above its rivals. This year's crop is no different and it is a pleasure to be able to share this beautiful coffee with you all again.
The Suke Quto farm was set up by Tesfaye Bekele following a bushfire in the area. In order to conserve the remaining forest he distributed coffee and shade tree seedlings amongst the local community and recruited out-growers to replant the forest. The out-growers harvest the coffee and deliver it to the Suke Quto Farm for processing. With a background in agronomy, horticulture and quality control, producing sustainable, high-quality coffee is at the heart of what Tesfaye is trying to achieve. The farm is organic and Rainforest Alliance certified and participates in revered importer Trabocca’s “Cherry Red” scheme which rewards Ethiopian farmers for hard work and innovation. The quality of the cup is testament to just how much of each has gone into creating this absolutely stunning lot.
