Boreta
The village of Boreta sits high up in the mountainous area of Sidama, south-central Ethiopia. The rich, diverse forests that blanket much of these highlands provide the nutrient-packed soil that’s so important for the health and development of coffee plants.
Add in ideal levels of rainfall and hours of sunlight, and post-harvest processing methods honed for generations, and it’s no wonder coffees from this region offer such memorable flavour experiences.
This coffee has plenty of the fruit notes often exhibited by high-quality washed Ethiopians, with a palate-pleasing roundness of texture.
