ETHIOPIA Mrs. Gemedech Fulasa
We are so excited to have this coffee land back on our menu! A dry processed coffee with mild fruit and floral notes complemented by notes of milk chocolate. This coffee will shine as a drip/pour over but we also love it as a cold brew. If you´re feeling adventurous try it as a single-origin espresso!
Mrs. Gemedech inherited her 4.5-hectare coffee farm when her father passed away in 2011. In the Gedeo culture, land inheritance usually goes to the male children. However, her being the only child, she has taken this opportunity to inherit the land and shine as one of few female coffee farmers and one of the highest quality coffee farmers in Yirgacheffe.

Mrs Gemedech’s land in the famed Idedo region of Yirghacheffe (part of Ethiopia’s southern coffee growing region) is a garden farm where coffee is grown under a shade mixed with other fruits and food staples in a regenerative manner. Fallen leaves and coffee pulp hauled from local mills are the main source of compost. Ensete trees (false Banana) across the farm collect water from the rainy season inside their trunks and release it to the ground during the dry season. This helps the soils retain moisture all year round. According to Mrs. Gemedech, she does not use inorganic fertilizers or pesticides, and, since she processes her harvest using the natural/sun dried process, her environmental waste and impact are is minimal
