Ethiopia is one of the only places where coffee grows wild. Approximately 85% of Ethiopia’s coffee is produced by small farmers on less than 1 hectare of land. They use traditional practices for fertilization and pest control that are organic in nature but generally lack the Organic certification because of barriers related to cost and infrastructure.

The Sidama Coffee Farmers’ Cooperative Union (SCFCU) was founded in 2001 to represent coffee producing cooperatives located throughout the Sidama Zone of Southern Ethiopia. As of 2013, the SCFCU has grown to represent 46 cooperatives making the SCFCU the second largest coffee producing cooperative union in Ethiopia.

This a certified organic Ethiopian Washed Sidamo Shoye FT is sourced from family-owned farms organized around the Shoye Cooperative located within the Dale district. It is produced from indigenous heirloom cultivars and exhibits notes of lemongrass, black tea and peach.
