Buku Abel #6 Ethiopia

From cherries of approximately 500 farmers, this coffee was produced at the Buku Abel Washing Station.

Founded in 2019, Buku Abel is a washing station located in Guji. It sits at 1900 - 2100 masl, on a small hill with optimal sunlight exposure, cold winds, and rich, fertile, red soil. The neighbouring farmers deliver their cherries at around midday and sort them until the late afternoon.

The farmers’ average plot size is between 0.5 - 2 hectares, with semi-forest and garden type of vegetation. There are approximately 1800 - 2400 trees planted per hectare, with each tree estimated to produce around 3 kg of cherry. The varieties that are grown are Heirloom.
