From the producer

Meselech Tube has grown coffee in Bensa since the 1990s. She runs the three-hectare family farm with assistance from three adult children and participates in a Lulo Coffees market-access program for small-scale Ethiopian farmers.

From the roaster

Partners Coffee focuses on providing approachable, high-quality specialty coffee while maintaining strong relationships with producers. They emphasize transparency and education in their sourcing practices.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A highly traceable Ethiopian natural from one family farm, with three named JARC selections rather than a generic heirloom label.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Whole-cherry harvest

Meselech's family harvested ripe coffee from November through January at Shanteweyne Farm.

02
Raised-bed natural drying

The whole cherries were dried on raised beds under direct sunlight at the farm.

What was added?

No fruit, flavoring, starter culture, or other additive is disclosed.

What wasn't added?

The cited sources do not publish a separate fermentation duration, total drying time, or exact cultivar proportions.

Why it matters

Keeping the process classified as a traditional natural distinguishes verified whole-cherry drying from experimental or additive-driven processing.

What you might taste

Strawberry, blueberry, banana, vanilla tea, and honey in a sweet, syrupy cup.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.
