Musa and his brothers, Mustefa and Gugu, farm coffee together near the town of Agaro, and while this is the first time we’ve roasted coffee from Musa, a few years ago we served up a delicious natural from Mustefa! The Abalulesa family might have one of the most unique coffee origin stories in Ethiopia, with farm roots in revolution. Abalulesa, Musa’s father, spent the 1970s as a guerilla leader, fighting against the Derg, Ethiopia’s brutal dictatorship at the time, and hid out in the mountains and forests around Agaro. When the Derg finally fell, the family was granted some of the forest Abalulesa called home, as a form of reparations and reconciliation. Now, they’re using that land to produce coffee! We’re tasting lemon drop candy, refined sugar, florals, and white grapes in this cup!
