ABOUT

Much loved for their rich and fruity notes, the popularity of high-quality Ethiopian naturals never wanes. Arbegona is a micro-lot from Sidama, southern Ethiopia. Sourced through our partners in Ethiopia, Daye Bensa.

Daye Bensa are a community focused enterprise that was started in 1997 by two brothers - Assefa and Mulugeta Dukamo. As well as running their own farms, wet mills and dry mills they have been incredibly important ambassadors for Ethiopian speciality coffee, building a business that now supports over 2500 small scale farmers.

The name Arbegona refers to the area where this coffee was grown; Daya Bensa have a washing station here where farmers can deliver cherry and receive technical support and training.  The cherry for this coffee was shade-dried on raised beds under the forest canopy for around 25 days, during this time the harvest is hand-turned every 15 minutes to ensure even drying and consistent quality.
