About this coffee
The first natural Ethiopia of the season comes from Hambela district, in Guji. Sourced by our friends from ThisSideUp, this lot pertains to MOCCA Ethiopia, a processing and exporting company owned by the sisters Tsedenia and Altayen Abayneh. Both sisters were born and raised in Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia, and are the second generation of coffee producers in the family. Their father, Mr. Abayneh Kebede, has been in the coffee business since 1990. Before establishing MOCCA, Tsedenia worked in coffee processing and export for more than 5 years with her brother Fekadu, owner of Kanketi Coffee Export. Altayen, on the other hand, has run a coffee shop since 2011.
Tsedenia and Altayen work closely with smallholder farmers, making each lot fully traceable, who carry generations of knowledge, where coffee and nature go hand in hand and remains a ceremonial drink for many who grow and consume it. Farmers cultivate coffee under agroforestry systems, and through Mocca’s dry and wet mills in Guji and Yirgacheffe, different processing methods are used to bring out the depth and diversity of Ethiopian flavours.
MOCCA’s natural lot comes from smallholder farmers in Dimtu, a rural village and community area within the Hambela Wamena district of Guji zone. The cherries are processed in their Abayneh Kebede dry mill, called after their father. This mill was established in 2001 and contains more than 200 drying beds. There, MOCCA buys freshly harvested red coffee cherries that are handpicked from farmers around the mill. The selected red cherries will be put on natural drying raised beds, usually for 21 days or more depending on the temperature. After the coffee has finished drying in the sun, it will go through an under-huller for removal of the outer skin cover, or cascara, in the dry mill.
This lot is a classic, clean, and complex natural profile. Expect notes of wild peach, Earl Grey, and white chocolate.
