Background: Ethiopia is considered the birthplace of coffee and it has over 1.1 million coffee farmers. Most of these are located in the south and west of the country.Yirgacheffe is the highest coffee processing mill in the world and the first in Ethiopia. All cooperatives in Ethiopia belong to a Union which mills, grades, sells and exports the coffee. The Konga Cooperative is considered to be one of the more successful cooperatives in the area, has a very well organized washing station located at 1850 masl, in the heart of Yirgacheffe. The cooperative is made up of over 1500 small farmers.Over a lengthy 3-year process, we designed and perfected a new way to roast coffee. We fully develop the coffee while keeping the roast before first crack. The chemical reactions that normally occur later in the roast cycle, we have been able to stimulate earlier while keeping the roast prolife very light.This coffee will age incredibly well and we have age tested coffee up to 2 years old with exceptional results. We have a passion for coffee and love sharing it with you.
