How to brew.
We recommend drinking this Ethiopian filter coffee as V60 pour-over or batch brew for a cleaner cup with a lighter mouthfeel which lets the coffee flavours and acidity shine. If you are after a slightly bigger mouthfeel, try AeroPress (try a lighter brewing style recipe) or plunger brewing. This filter coffee is best enjoyed without milk.

Produced by Mr Ocholo Bedecho.
This exceptional Ethiopian coffee comes from Mr. Ocholo Bedecho, a dedicated smallholder farmer in the Urga district of Guji Zone. His farm, located near the town of Haro Wachu, spans an impressive 8 hectares—one of the largest in the area. Talk about making the most of every acre!
While coffee is his mainstay, Mr. Ocholo also grows vegetables and Enset, ensuring his family has a steady supply of fresh, homegrown food. His two daughters and six sons are part of the team, each contributing to the farm’s day-to-day work.
Education is a top priority for Mr. Ocholo, and thanks to his coffee earnings, he’s able to send his children to school. After classes, they’re back on the farm, hands-on and learning the ropes of coffee cultivation alongside their father. For the Bedecho family, each harvest is more than just coffee; it’s a symbol of family, tradition, and a deep connection to the land.
Washing stations in Ethiopia.
Did you know that about 90% of Ethiopia's coffee comes from smallholder farmers? These hardworking folks deliver their freshly harvested cherries to local, privately owned washing stations. Now, picture this: washing stations are like coffee spas, where the beans either sunbathe on drying beds (for natural-processed coffees) or go through a relaxing wash and dry cycle (for washed coffees).
Many washing station owners also hold an export license, which allows them to sell their coffee directly on the international market—provided they have a contract, of course. Talk about taking their beans global! This particular coffee can be traced back to the Arsosola washing station. So, next time you sip your Ethiopian brew, remember the journey it took from a small farm to your cup. Cheers!
