From the producer

Mustefa Abakeno farms 18 hectares in Beshasha, Jimma Zone, and operates two washing stations that process his coffee and contributions from 36 neighboring smallholders. He began direct exports in 2018.

From the roaster

Verve presents this light-roast washed lot as a precise, layered coffee whose shaded drying preserves clarity and balance.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A fully traceable washed lot from a producer who helped pioneer Ethiopia’s direct-export era and processes coffee for his own farm and 36 neighboring smallholders.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Verified the exact archive release

Confirmed producer, location, cultivar, washed process, elevation range, shaded drying, cup notes, price, size, and availability.

02
Connected canonical records

Linked the existing Jimma Zone, Mustefa Abakeno farm and producer, Heirloom, and Washed records.

03
Preserved the published range

Kept 1,950–2,100 meters as a range rather than inventing a midpoint.

What was added?

Canonical region, variety, process, producer and farm relationships; exact elevation range; shaded drying; current commerce data; and source-backed narrative.

What wasn't added?

No midpoint elevation, farm-specific percentage, fermentation duration, harvest, independent sentiment score, or house score was inferred.

Why it matters

The page now distinguishes a verified high-elevation range and drying practice from details the release does not publish.

What you might taste

Pluot, hibiscus, and dark chocolate.

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.

The internet pulse

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.
