Tasting Notes of Stewed Apple and Brown Sugar

Mensur Abahika is a key member of the Tokuma group, a collective of farmers in Western Ethiopia who have organised to market and export coffee together. The collective share their knowledge, infrastructure and experience in order to improve coffee quality. Tokuma represents an important shift in the Ethiopian coffee industry, leveraging recent regulatory changes to ensure high traceability and fair compensation through direct export. Their successful partnerships with export groups such as Osito coffee have expanded their reach from a single member to a collective, producing exceptional coffees year after year. Being labour intensive and expensive, washed processed coffee from single producers in Ethiopia is rare, generally reserved for larger co-ops and washing stations. A few of the members of Tokuma group were able to produce washed coffees this season and we’re so excited to share it with you. This lot is syrupy sweet and full bodied with excellent structure. We’ve roasted it for filter, highlighting its delightful stewed apple notes.
