This Year’s Harvest
The newest lot of natural processed Ethiopian Shanta Golba is a delightfully expressive yet balanced coffee. Gently layered with effervescent, fruit-forward flavors and exquisite aromatics. Lighter roast styles showcase notes of fresh raspberries, wildflower honey and vanilla, along with a round and creamy body. Darker roasts of this coffee are thick and syrupy and exhibit sweet, caramelized notes of dates and roasted marshmallows, along with hints of anise and dark chocolate. This clean and balanced, yet fruity and complex, coffee works well across all brew methods, but shines most as a pour-over or single origin espresso.
About The Farmers
Ethiopia Shanta Golba Natural comes from over 1200 small-holder producers living around the town of Daya Bensa in the Sidama Region. This organically produced, naturally processed coffee was sourced from our partners at Unravel Coffee Merchants and Ardent Coffee Export. Ardent is heavily involved in the local community, building a road to aid in transportation, a local elementary school and the Shanta Golba washing station. Additionally, training on agronomy and cherry harvesting is provided to producers in the area.
Social Impact
Farmer Impact Fund
Purchasing this coffee also supports the Farmer Impact Fund (a Bellwether Coffee initiative) which directly invests in coffee-growing communities. Through this fund, producers receive balloon payments that they use autonomously for community and farm-level projects. A small surcharge is added to the price of the green coffee beans, and these funds are directly distributed to farmers, creating a direct connection between the consumer, the coffee roasting company, and the lives of coffee producers and their families and communities, something unprecedented in the coffee industry.
