This new instant coffee leverages our single origin coffee from Taltalcha washing station in Ethiopia, located in the Guji region, Oda Shakiso district. Owned by Abraham Bagasho, they are receiving and processing coffee cherries from over 120 farming families in the surrounding area.

Most of the farmers are producing coffee between 1700 - 2100 m.a.s.l, with the average producer’s farm being around 1 hectare in size. Varieties found are local heirloom and JARC varieties. JARC varieties are cultivars that were developed by the Jimma Agricultural Research Centre (JARC), in order to improve disease and pest resistance while increasing crop yield.
