Narrative

This lot represents coffee contributed to Uraga Wet Mill by around 670 smallholder producers in Yabetome, a town in the district of Uraga, Guji Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia. The mill is managed by Mitiku Alemayehu, who also contributes coffee to this lot. Most of the coffee in this area is grown under the shade of Wanza, Zigba, Kerero, and Enset, all of which are trees with large canopies and tall statures. There are many benefits to shade-grown coffee other than the positive impact it can have on cup quality and flavour. Some environmental and ecological benefits include greater species diversity and habitat retention (which encourages natural pest control and pollination), better soil conservation, greater carbon sequestration, and much more.
