Halo Beriti is sourced from METAD Agricultural Development PLC. METAD is a third-generation family owned business with a rich history. It began after World War II, when the Ethiopian Emperor awarded Muluemebet Emiru, the first African female pilot and family matriarch, with land in the Guji and Sidama zones that have become the Hambela Coffee Estate. METAD has an expanding out-grower program designed to provide technical assistance, share modern farming equipment, and provide certification programs for more than 5,000 local farmers who are paid premiums for their cherry and second payments after coffee is sold. Quality and certification premiums have also helped METAD build roads and community centers. In addition, METAD has the first and only private state-of-the-art SCAA certified coffee quality control lab on the African continent used to train both domestic and international coffee professionals. This focus on quality truly translates to the cup, giving us a coffee that is clean, sweet, and complex. We taste crisp and sweet peach in the beginning, followed by lavender florals, and a finish that reminds us of wildflower honey. This is an excellent example of what we love in Ethiopian coffees, and we are excited to share this with our community.
