This is our first time working with this coffee and it roasts beautifully. This Chelbesa is everything we love about washed Ethiopian coffees; great stone fruit-like acidity and sweetness with subtle floral notes. We can't wait for you to try it!

Habtamu Fikadu Aga (trading as Kuri Mountain Coffee) was founded in 2015 by Aaga Dinsa, the grandson of a coffee farmer in Kuri Kebele. He inherited his grandfather’s farm, which remains the export-hub of the operation. Today the organization spans 105 hectares planted in Kuri Kebele, plus 837 hectares total including the farms of 144 registered outgrowers. These outgrowers deliver cherry to washing stations owned or managed by the company across Wolega, Guji, and Jimma.
