What is it good for?: Amazing with a nice long steep in the Cleve Dripper. For optimum results try my own patented technique - forget it for 20 minutes or so whilst dealing with a upset baby, return and curse a few times but try it anyway and realise it is delicious.
Additional Notes : An excellent Ethiopian coffee with as the name suggests a nice sweet fruity flavour. We have particularly enjoyed this one in the Clever Dripper.
Ethiopia Shantawene is named after the village where the majority of the people who work on the farm originate.
In 2006, brothers Asefa and Mulugeta Dukamo founded Daye Bensa, a coffee grower and exporter in Ethiopia. Daye Bensa exports coffee from its farm, in the Shantawene Village, as well as from “out-growers” (or smallholders) in three villages: Shantawene, Karamo and Bombe.
Daye Bensa stretches between 1,900 and 2,217 meters. The delivered cherry from comes from out-growers’ farms higher up the mountain, between 2,000 and 2,400 meters.
Daye Bensa owns 15 washing stations across three districts, and they handle all the coffee they export. Its two farms, in Kaffa and Sidamo, are Organic, UTZ, Rainforest Alliance and C.A.F.E. practices certified.
Each year Daye Bensa hosts an Out-Growers Day. Nearly 1,000 farmers gather to celebrate their harvests and to receive second payments for their coffee cherry contributions. Daye Bensa additionally rewards the top three farmers from each of the three villages with certificates and cash prizes, recognizing them for consistently delivering high-quality cherries.
