About this coffee and why we love it: 

At Sunshine Social we love working with coffees that highlight the nuisance of a region, are clean & full of flavour. This Organic coffee from the Hadeso washing station has a delicate sugar cane sweetness thats highlighted by a clean pink grapefruit acidity. 

Working closely with importers and exporters that source and purchase the best coffee and from coffee farmers that are following sustainable production standards is one of our values. So we love partnering with MCM (Melbourne Coffee Merchants), a certified B-corp as they give us the confidence that the coffees we source follow these standards and are continuing to develop long term relationships with our producers and farmers. 

Hadeso (pronounced “Had-ess-o”) is a privately-owned washing station that is located in the Shakisso woreda (administrative district) in Ethiopia’s Guji zone. The washing station is named after the nearby kebele (local village) of Hadeso, and is one of twenty owned and managed by Testi Coffee, a family-owned company founded by Mr Faysel A. Yonis.

This coffee was processed using the natural method; a complex process requiring a high level of attention to detail in order to be done well. Ethiopian coffee has been processed this way by generations of farmers who have mastered the art of the natural method through centuries of tradition and experience.
