Some coffees are simply good and easy to enjoy. Girma Shonte is exactly that kind of Ethiopia – bright, fruity and clean in the cup. It brings vibrant tropical character with a citrusy edge while staying balanced and very drinkable.

This lot comes from Chire Woreda in the Sidamo region of Ethiopia, grown at 2236 meters above sea level – one of the higher elevations in the region, which contributes to the clarity and brightness in the cup. It is produced by Girma Shonte on his 2.5-hectare family farm, using agroforestry techniques that create natural shade and support soil health. Girma, his family and seasonal workers selectively handpick only ripe, red cherries, which are then laid on raised beds and turned regularly to ensure even drying. The whole process takes between 15 and 20 days, resulting in a clean and expressive natural.

Why you’ll love it

If you enjoy Ethiopian naturals that are fruity and bright but still clean and easy to drink, this one works really well. It has tropical fruit and sweet tangerine-like acidity, natural sweetness and a long chocolate finish that makes it great for everyday filter brewing.

Part of the Lalisaa project, this lot is fully traceable – from a single farm, a single producer, a single family. Roasted in Warsaw with a focus on clarity, brightness and everyday drinkability.
