Ethiopian Coffee Culture 2006
On our second trip to hunt coffee in Ethiopia, one can't ignore the sense of true coffee culture when visiting. This trip triggered a great sense of coffee complexity and a realization that there was so much work to be done. Being the birthplace of coffee and over 10,000 varieties yet to be discovered, Ethiopia quickly became a focus for coffee development. One coffee in particular, Belekara natural, blew our senses and was by far the best we've ever tasted. Ninety Plus Coffee was non-existent but the overwhelming urge to work directly with Ethiopian coffee producers and farmers was surely within our scope.
