Ethiopia Kuru Konga

Yellow peach & macadamia nut

This single origin coffee comes from a network of smallholder producers near the village of Konga in Ethiopia’s renowned Yirgacheffe district. The Konga washing station located close by to Yirgacheffe, is operated by Kura. Kuru is led by Abdurahman Mahdi, whose deep commitment to quality and community has helped shape the reputation of this region. Because this coffee is grown at such high elevations ranging from 2,000 - 2,300 masl and has been cultivated by generations of local farmers, the coffee benefits from the ample rainfall, the rich volcanic soil and sustainable practices. Kuru also spearheads a range of sustainability and community projects through the EFICO Foundation, making this coffee traceable, high quality and a contributor to a long lasting impact on the community.

Once ripe, the wild grown heirloom varietal cherries are handpicked and fully washed with 36 - 48 hours of fermentation, then sun-dried on raised beds for 7 - 10 days.
