Samuel Degelo is an Odo Shakiso smallholder and elementary-school teacher. He is one of roughly 800 producers delivering to Bishan Dimo and is described by Partners as a Testi model farmer.
Partners Coffee is a specialty coffee roaster based in Brooklyn that focuses on sourcing high-quality beans from trusted producers.
Individual-farmer and cultivar traceability is unusual in Ethiopia's centralized washing-station system; this page documents Samuel, his Hadeso farm and the Bishan Dimo processing route separately.
WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?
Samuel's separated harvest is delivered from his Hadeso farm to Bishan Dimo Washing Station.
The station applies a typical fully washed process; the source does not publish fermentation duration or water protocol.
The parchment is moved to raised mesh beds and dries for approximately seven days.
No co-ferment ingredient or flavoring is disclosed.
Fermentation duration and detailed washing steps are not published.
The record distinguishes the farmer and farm from the washing station that processes and dries the lot.
Peach, guava and lemonade, with lemon-lime and raspberry in the broader roaster description.
