Coava Coffee Roasters
Portland, OR, USA
The Gedeb district is home to thousands of coffee-farming families producing some of the most incredible coffees in the world. Located south of Yirgacheffe, Gedeb is quickly developing a reputation for stellar quality. “Wuri” is a Gedio word meaning “high altitude” and is well-earned with some farming areas topping out over 2,100 masl. Ranger Industry & Trading PLC has been active in Ethiopia since 2009, assisting farmers by focusing on productivity and meticulous processing. They also use earnings to impact the communities they source from, investing in local needs such as localized cherry collection sites to reduce producer transportation costs and road construction projects to make travel safer and easier. Since the relaxation of export regulations by the Ethiopian government in 2017, it has become easier to maintain full traceability when sourcing outstanding coffees, such as this one from the private Wuri washing station. Look for complex notes of bergamot, peach, and pinot noir in the cup.
