About The Producer
The Ayele Tulu Washing Station is situated in the Bona Zuria district of the Sidama region, more specifically in the Demeka Becha Kebele, 100 km from Hawassa, Ethiopia. Founded by second-generation grower Ayele Tulu and his son, Tsegab Ayele, Tsegab oversees all factory protocols from harvest to export, ensuring that each step adheres to the highest quality standards. Due to the region's high elevation, the coffees produced here are famously known as "Highland Coffee." Each year, approximately 600 smallholder producers bring ripe cherries to this washing station.
Variety
Landrace is an umbrella term that refers to all the coffee varietals endemic to Ethiopia. As believed to be the birthplace of coffee, the trees have been growing and cross-breeding for centuries in this country. As a result, today, there are numerous sub-varietals with some common genetics but slightly different behaviour and taste. Relatively recently, in the last few decades, there has been an organized effort to research and identify different endemic varietals growing in Ethiopia by name, disease resilience and yield production.
