About organic coffee
Organic coffee is grown on ecologically clean lands. The process of growing coffee is harmonious with the ecosystem. The preservation of forests contributes to the preservation of the population of rare birds and insects.
Such a carefully selected terroir also affects the taste of coffee. Coffee plants grow in the shade of trees and in mountainous areas, so the cup will be dense, complex, with a long aftertaste.
About the country of growth
In terms of growing conditions, Ethiopian coffee can be divided into three groups: forest, garden and plantation. The forest category includes trees growing in forests in natural shade, mainly in the south-west of the country. Garden is the most common type of coffee cultivation, giving the main volume of production. Trees grow near the farmer's house. There are fewer shade trees, and farmers artificially limit shade by pruning. Fertilizers are used quite often. The Plantation category is relatively rare. Coffee grows on large farms where basic farming methods are used: pruning, fertilizers, mulching, breeding. Therefore, single estate coffee from Ethiopia, that is, coffee from one farm, is relatively rare. There are quite a few varieties of Arabica growing in Ethiopia, which are usually labeled as local varieties or Ethiopian heritage. As for the climate and landscape, there are mountains in the western part of the country, respectively, the climate is milder, the east is a plateau and more arid. Ethiopian coffee regions – Irgachiff, Sidamo, Limu, Jimma, Lekempti, Harrar. The Sidamo region is also a trademark officially registered by the Government of Ethiopia in 2004 in order to promote coffee from this region. Coffee grows at an altitude of 1400 – 2200 meters above sea level. The harvest is harvested from October to January.
