From the producer

The coffee is grown by twenty-three smallholder women producers located in the Shakiso area of the Guji region. These producers work in collaboration with Sookoo to ensure high-quality, traceable coffee production.

From the roaster

Onyx Coffee Lab features this natural-process lot as a celebration of female-led coffee production. They emphasize transparency in their sourcing and provide detailed information regarding the producers and the project's impact.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

An exact, traceable collective release from twenty-three women smallholders in Shakiso, presented through the Doyenne project and sold in a cafe-size format.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Natural processing

The exact release is identified as natural process; the coffee dried in the fruit before milling.

02
Collective lot

The product is attributed to twenty-three smallholder women producers in Shakiso rather than to one named farm or individual producer.

What was added?

No fruit, flavoring or other post-harvest ingredient is documented.

What wasn't added?

No evidence of co-fermentation, inoculation or flavoring was found for the exact release.

Why it matters

Natural processing commonly amplifies fruit character, but the listed pineapple, strawberry, jasmine and sweet-tea notes are Onyx’s descriptors, not an owner tasting score.

What you might taste

Onyx lists pineapple, strawberry, jasmine and sweet tea.
