History
Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee, the varieties are specific to each area, scientists have recognized 37 varieties of which 34 are from a spontaneous crossing (natural pollination) and 3 from an artificial crossing (by human hands). Many times we find that Ethiopian coffee is of the Heirloom variety and what it means is that it is "old root", it does not define the variety itself, but rather it is generic. The variety is named after the area in which it grows and where it has been growing for several years. It must have the characteristic flavor of the area, that is, it has a specific cup profile.
This was a Vertical Integration Coffee, which we bought at Gomma. Gomma is a particular place in Limu, as the altitude range is very different, ranging from 1400-1800 meters.
Heleanna Georgalis has been at the head of the company since 2008. She is immersed in the third wave of coffee, caring firsthand about the quality of the coffee she exports. She continues her father's legacy, and claims to be passionate about this world where she herself can experiment with processes and have fun being able to check the results. In Ethiopia there are thousands of unexplored varieties and those that are known remain intact, and Heleanna emphasizes this every time she talks about the subject.
It is a café unknown to many people and yet it is the largest area in Djimma. It is mostly a Forest coffee and Semi-Forest. Due to the altitude and dense shade, coffee grows slowly and at stable rates, there is no cyclical production but it is stable year after year. The potential in quality is enormous and has great
attributes not found elsewhere.
