Product detailed description
Roaster comment: “Ethiopian coffees are my favorite - not only because it was the first coffee country I visited, but also because of the amazing fruity and floral combinations that this coffee homeland can create. And when I got my hands on a sample of this unique semi-washed (or “honey”) limited edition, I had to have it. Enjoy this unique espresso with me!”

Producer's story
The company name "Oboleyan" means "siblings" in the Afan Oromo language. And that's exactly what this project is about. The company was founded in 2018 by brothers Tariku, Anteneh, Wondimu and Demelash Edema. They are no newcomers to the business - they are the third generation of a family deeply committed to coffee. Their father left a strong legacy in the coffee sector in the Guji zone, which the sons are now continuing.
Oboleyan buys cherries from 148 small-scale farmers in the Tabe Burka area. These farmers farm small plots (1-4 hectares) in a "garden coffee" system, where coffee trees grow in the shade of other trees. They use exclusively agroecological methods without the use of chemical fertilizers. Among the varieties grown, Kurume stands out - a traditional regional variety, named after the original Albizia gummifera tree, under which coffee thrived in the rainforests.
The Edema family is also intensively involved in supporting the local community. Their development plan includes building boreholes for drinking water, distributing protective equipment (raincoats and wellies) for farmers, and investing in education - from building classrooms and libraries to providing school uniforms and supplies for students.
Processing
This lot is exceptional in that it is the first "honey" (honey) processed coffee that Oboleyan has produced. It is the promising beginning of a new chapter in their production.
The harvest is carried out exclusively by hand. After being collected at the station, the cherries are peeled (removed from the skin), but part of the sweet pulp is left on the bean. This is how it is dried on African raised beds. Thanks to the station's high altitude (over 2,000 m above sea level) and the dry weather during the harvest, drying takes place slowly and evenly over a period of approximately three weeks, which gives the coffee complexity and purity of taste.
