Summary

This natural lot from Shantawene village in the Bensa district of Ethiopia's Sidama region is processed at Gafisse Washing Station. Around 1,100 smallholder farmers, members of Daye Bensa, cultivate coffee at elevations between 1,990 and 2,190 metres, primarily growing the JARC 74112 variety. The station, operated by Daye Bensa, gained recognition when one of its coffees placed 7th in the 2020 Cup of Excellence. The coffee is harvested fully ripe, sorted by flotation and hand, then dried on raised beds for 12–15 days. It offers a vibrant, juicy profile with notes of berries and stone fruit.
