1000g - Raro Boda, Ethiopia

We only have 15kg of this amazing coffee from Ethiopia!

The beans are grown at an altitude of 2300 meters in Raro Boda, a village in the Guji region of Ethiopia, by over 700 small-scale farmers. They hand-pick ripe berries and deliver them to the local washing station, where the berries are left to dry slowly in the sun on raised beds. It takes patience – the berries have to be turned several times a day – but the result is a coffee with deep fruitiness and a silky mouthfeel. These coffee beans are a must for those who like a light, fresh and flavorful coffee!

The Raro Boda washing station is run by Negusse Bebela, the man behind Snap Coffee, and is located in the heart of Uraga, an area known for its high and even altitudes. These altitudes give the coffee grown here incredible potential for quality, as the cooler temperatures at this altitude slow down the drying process and extend the time the cherry has to develop. With the cooler temperatures at altitude, these batches take between 10 and 14 days to dry, resulting in a clean, clear cup with consistent quality. The fermentation process here is equally important, taking around 72 hours to fully develop, contributing to the clarity and depth of flavour in each batch.
