Coffee Information

This Ethiopian natural opens with a burst of wild blueberry and dark cherry. The fruitiness is grounded by layers of dark chocolate and an enveloping sweetness, with a silky texture and a long, lingering finish.

In the heart of Nensebo, the Rafisa washing station works with nearly 600 small producers from the villages of Refisa, Roricho, Bulga, and Riripa. Located in the Oromia region, about 400 km south of Addis Ababa, this young coffee-growing area reaches elevations up to 2200 masl and is home to a mix of local and wild coffee varieties.

Behind Rafisa is Tariku Kare. Born in Bombe, he began working in coffee at just 15 years old before managing several washing stations across the region. After years in the industry, he eventually opened his own station to export his coffees internationally. Today, Tariku is known for paying higher prices for ripe coffee cherries and for building long-term relationships with the producers who deliver to his washing stations.
