Cartel Roasters - ETHIOPIA ALMAZ MAMO YIRGACHEFFE NATURAL - Espresso roast

Almaz Mamo cultivates coffee at Wegida Farm in Dila, Yirgacheffe. She grows a range of local landraces and JARC varieties, which have all evolved to thrive in Ethiopia’s climatic conditions. Almaz selectively handpicks ripe, red cherry and processes it on her farm. She lays cherry on raised beds to sun dry and rakes cherry frequently to ensure even drying. It takes approximately 2 to 3 weeks for cherry to dry. Once dry, Almaz bags cherry and stores it in a warehouse on the farm for about 5 months before it’s transported to the dry mill for processing.
