Sike Bokasso produces some of our favorite coffees in Guji, and this white honey preparation is no exception. In the cup we find melon, candied peach, and star fruit.

ABOUT SIKE BOKASSO
This lot was separated for us from some of the highest elevations in Guji. Though the Sike Bokasso community sits just across the border in this region, it does not have its own washing station, and as a result the coffee was processed and dried at the Halo Hartume site in neighboring Gedeb. We are grateful to Tim Hill and our exporting partners at SNAP for making this precise and labor-intensive separation possible.
ABOUT ETHIOPIAN LANDRACE
Ethiopia is widely acknowledged as where coffee originated, and its production continues to represent a significant part of the country’s economy. DNA testing has confirmed over 60 distinct varieties growing in Ethiopia, making it home to the most coffee biodiversity of any region in the world. Given the tradition of coffee production in Ethiopia and the political interworkings of the Ethiopian coffee trade, it is virtually impossible to get single variety coffee lots from Ethiopia. This is changing, albeit very slowly. Most Ethiopian coffees are blends of the many Ethiopian varieties, and referred to simply as 'Ethiopian Landrace'.

The cost of getting a coffee from cherry to beverage varies enormously depending on its place of origin and the location of its consumption. The inclusion of price transparency is a starting point to inform broader conversation around the true costs of production and the sustainability of specialty coffee as a whole.
