SPECIALTY COFFEE from ETHIOPIA Bombe
Daniso Horsa is a coffee farmer in the picturesque Damo area of Shantawene, nestled in the Bensa district of Sidama. In this area, many people belong to the Shantawene Kebena group.
A trip to Damo through the lush countryside will delight you with a fascinating landscape, where the trees blur and cast alternating patterns of sunlight and shadow. The earth beneath hardens into furrows of deep red clay, while scenes of community life unfold, with the sound of laughter and the tapping of ping-pong balls filling the air under the shade of acacia trees, mingling with the aroma of roasted goat and ba aerberi spices.
While the idyllic setting may romanticize coffee farming, the reality is far from easy. Growing, harvesting, and processing coffee is demanding work that involves long hours in the sun and rain. It all begins with caring for the trees and patiently waiting for the delicate white coffee flowers to transform into vibrant red berries. Once ripe, the laborious task of hand-selecting only the ripest cherries begins, requiring meticulous attention to detail and frequent tree visits. Additionally, Daniso operates a second farm in the Faficho area of Bombe Kebele, further contributing to coffee production in the Bensa region.
Growers in the Bombe region reside in the elevated, verdant valley of Bombe Mountain, surrounded by stunning landscapes. Bombe coffees consistently impress with their density and rich flavor profiles.
They typically feature high concentrations of smaller mesh sizes, primarily 14 and 15, which distinguishes them from Shantawene and Keramo lots. Additionally, there is a slightly higher proportion of the Mikicho variety in Bombe coffees, which is identified by its larger cherries with distinctive wavy leaves and elongated, canoe-shaped seeds. Mikicho is closely related to the famous Gesha variety, and Bombe lots are renowned for their lush tropical fruit notes and delicate floral nuances, which are prominent in every cup.
