This coffee, from Aaga Dinsa & the almost 150 small holders is a testament to how solid all the coffee in guji is. This coffee is simple, floral, & elegant. Def one of our favourite washed Ethiopians we have EVER sourced. We very much hope you like it. Habtamu was introduced to us by Maya & Chris at Crop 2 Cup. Since then, we have bought from Habtamu every year. He's amazing!
