| 80% POPAYÁN SMALLHOLDERS | 20% DEMISSIE EDEMA |
|
This coffee comprises several smallholder producers from Popayán, a very well-known coffee growing region in Colombia. Generally, a smallholder producer will grow coffee on land no larger than 5 hectares. Previously, producers in this region worked with high-yielding crops that were easily maintained. Now, producers focus on growing coffee in micro-lots, which require more attention and care, yielding better cup quality.

Demissie Edema grew up on his parent's coffee farm in Gedeb, Gedeo, Ethiopia. The farm sits amongst a protected rainforest, which supports the conservation of the land's natural and thriving biodiversity. Since taking over the farm 25 years ago, Demissie has greatly improved post-harvest processing. A washing station, a mill, and exporting channels were built under his oversight, which allowed him to process his own coffee on-site, as well as coffee from neighbouring farms Producer: Demissie Edema |

This micro-lot was grown by producing families in Okapa and Bomai, both regions of Papua New Guinea. The coffee in these regions is forest-grown, meaning there is no use for herbicide and fertilizers. Producing families harvest the coffee annually, handpicking the coffee cherries. They then contribute the coffee cherries to a central location where the coffee is processed and prepared for export.
