Everything you want to know
Kabira Organic coffee originates from western Ethiopia, specifically in the Agaro region of Jimma, at an altitude ranging between 2,000 and 2,100 meters above sea level. This area is renowned as one of the birthplaces of coffee, characterized by a unique terroir that imparts distinctive aromas and flavors to the beans.
At the heart of this exceptional coffee is the passion of Mustefa Abakeno, an innovative farmer managing 18 hectares of land situated at 2,040 meters above sea level. Mustefa combines a deep respect for Ethiopian traditions with a modern approach to coffee cultivation and processing. Initially, he invested in a three-disc pulper to process half of the harvest as washed coffee and the other half as natural coffee. Following new regulations introduced in 2018, Mustefa became a direct exporter and established the Beshasha washing station, where he processes both his coffee and that of other small-scale local farmers.
With the support of the Falcon team in Addis Ababa and agronomist Harun, Mustefa has implemented improvements such as shade nets for drying beds, rigorous cherry selection, and a lab to monitor coffee moisture levels. In 2022, he expanded his operations with new collection sites, contributing to the economic development of local communities.
Kabira Organic is certified Organic/Bio, ensuring a sustainable and environmentally friendly production process. The cultivated varieties are Heirloom, native to Ethiopia, and grown without the use of chemicals. This coffee is processed naturally, undergoing slow drying on raised beds for 24-27 days.
Kabira Organic stands out for its unique sensory profile. In the cup, it delivers delicate notes of red fruits, chocolate, and sweet lime, accompanied by a full, rounded body that creates an extremely balanced and satisfying experience.
This exceptional coffee has achieved a cupping score of 86 points following the SCA protocol, confirming its superior quality and the meticulous care invested in every stage of production.
