    About this coffee

    We are returning this coffee with a new harvest from Hamasho Washing station and it's layered with jammy black fruits, grape-like florals, and a lemonade zip. Juicy yet grounded, soft but complex. This high-elevation magic from the mountains of Bensa has even been awarded in the Ethiopian Cup of Excellence in 2021 (8th) and 2022 (2nd).

    Brew it best with Third Wave Water

    Bensa, Sidama, Ethiopia

    Over 600 smallholder farmers contribute cherry to the Hamasho lot, led by Assefa Dukamo Korma as a part of the award-winning Daye Bensa network. He is father to 9 children, several of which participate in the management and operations of Daye Bensa. Central to Daye Bensa’s roots is his father - an entrepreneur who sold everything from flowers to coffee. Dukamo deeply believed in the power of education, not only promoting its importance but using a portion of his profits to provide scholarships for children from low-income families.Today, the acclaimed exporter continues this emphasis on education by prioritizing the hiring and training of university graduates from coffee-farming families. Since small-scale farms alone may not be financially viable, the company offers these young people opportunities to work on larger farms or within Daye Bensa itself.

    In this particular community, farmers grow primarily 74158 variety—a cultivated selection known for its exceptional sweetness and clarity.

    Process

    Natural

    In this natural process coffee, coffee cherry fruits are brought to the Hamasho washing station for milling and then dried whole slowly on raised beds for 16 to 21 days in the cool mountain air. The unique microclimate of Bensa—where warm, sunny days meet crisp, cool nights—extends the drying period and concentrates flavor. You can typically expect more body, fruit-forward berry-like character, and complex sweetness.
