About the people who grow it
This coffee has all the qualities of Ethiopian coffee wrapped into one. This rare Ethiopian coffee is entirely traceable, and was directly sourced by a small Ethiopian-owned coffee importing company in Northern Virginia that has built a close relationship with the farmers in Ethiopia.
Produced by Mustefa Abalulessa on his private Homa Funtule farm tucked in the mountains of Gomma in southwest Ethiopia. This, along with a couple other small farms, are owned and operated by two brothers, Mussa and Mustefa Aba Lulessa. Together, they have 90 hectares. These coffee farms have been in their family for generations and their father and grandfather died defending their land from the oppressive Dirg regime. Together the brothers carry on family tradition with their shade grown Limmu coffee.
