From the producer

Mustefa Abakeno operates a 18-hectare farm in Beshasha, Agaro, and manages washing stations that process coffee for himself and numerous neighboring smallholders. He is recognized for his commitment to quality and his role as an early adopter of direct export practices in Ethiopia.

From the roaster

Onyx Coffee Lab highlights this coffee for its refined structure and vibrant, evolving profile, which they attribute to the producer's careful processing methods. They recommend this coffee for both filter and espresso brewing.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Mustefa Abakeno was an early participant in Ethiopia’s direct-export system and operates both an 18-hectare farm and washing stations serving neighboring smallholders. The exact contribution of those sources to this release is not disclosed.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Washed preparation

Onyx identifies a washed process; exact fermentation duration is not stated.

Slow shaded drying

The coffee was dried slowly on raised beds with shade used to preserve clarity and aromatics.

What was added?

Linked Jimma Zone and Ethiopian Landraces; corrected elevation to 1,950 m; added December harvest-month context, $25/10 oz archive price, drying detail, and four editorial sections.

What wasn't added?

No exclusive farm attribution, harvest year, formal green grade, owner score, or independent sentiment rating was added.

Why it matters

The correction separates exact release facts from broader information about Mustefa’s farm and washing-station network.

What you might taste

Onyx lists cranberry, oolong tea, golden raisin, and clove.

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
