About The Coffee

This coffee from Ephtah’s Lalesa farm is grown at 2,150 - 2,200 MASL under the shade of false banana trees. The farm covers 3.5 hectares and employs 20 permanent staff, with numbers increasing to 250 during the harvest season from late November to January. The farm has 350 drying beds and cultivates heirloom coffee varieties. After processing, the coffee is stored in the site warehouse before being moved to Addis Ababa for export.

In honey processing, the coffee goes through partial pulping, removing the skin but leaving behind a sticky layer of mucilage (fruit flesh), before fermenting and drying. This process allows the natural sugars to infuse into the beans. There are a few different colours of honey processing - but none of them involve actual honey. Instead the name comes from the colour the drying beans get from themucilage left on them.

The thicker the layer of mucilage is left, the darker the colour. In this particular coffee, it’s the black honey which means the maximum amount of mucilage is left. The beans that have been processed as black honey often show the flavours of darker fruits and have richer texture and bolder body than those of the lighter colour.

If you want to try a coffee from the same harvest and the same producer - the only difference being the processing method, check out Lalesa Anaerobic Natural.
