## Ethiopia Bensa Shantawene These coffees have been exported through the private exporter Tariku Kare, which is a new partner of our exporter company Nordic Approach. Tariku Kare Exporters brought us coffee from two different Ethiopian regions Sidama and West Arsi, where they also manage their own mills in both locations. Tariku Kare Exporters received recognition from Africa Fine Coffee Association due to the amazing quality coffee they have provided over the years. The Tariku Coffee Farms are located at high altitudes, ranging between 1900 and 2150 meters above sea level, which is a key factor to grow Grade 1 coffee beans. Generally, coffees are grown at 1,900 - 2,200 masl and processed at 1900 - 2100 masl. Tariku Coffee engages in social responsibilities by investing back into their community. Work opportunities are generated for the local citizens, especially women, and social welfare. They employ 20 permanent employees and 600 workers. Tariku Kare claims to donate part of the earnings to charity by supplying school materials to children from low-income families and offering financial help to the families. Additionally, Tariku offers training at the farm to help farmers achieve great quality coffee in order to incentivise the production of specialty, and they have as well created a platform for local growers to help them retail their products at the national level. We get a very clean cup in the brew despite it being a natural processed coffee. Dried citrus and hints of grapefruit when hot, with plenty of berry notes and a subtle touch of florals in the finish. ### Details: * **Producer**: Various Smallholder Producers * **Region**: Bensa, Sidama, Ethiopia * **Variety**: Ethiopian Heirloom * **Altitude**: 1993 - 2150 masl * **Harvest**: Dec - Jan 2025 * **Processing**: Natural * **Size**: 200g * **Brewing**: Filter ## Brew Guide Depending on your brewing method at home, from Clever Dripper to pourovers or Moka stovetop, we'll help you get the best taste out of your coffee.
