Ethiopia Tibebu Roba Farm

About This Coffee

In Chelchele Kebele in Ethiopia's Yirgacheffe region, we find the coffee farmer - and preacher - Tibebu Roba, who runs an 8,298 hectare coffee farm with his wife at an altitude of 2100 meters. We have visited them several times, most recently our head roaster was there during last year's harvest. Tibebu is a great inspiration for the area's other producers; his dedication and care were evident in all parts of the extremely well-managed farm. The visit to the Roba family is always the absolute highlight of the trip and we are proud to be able to roast their berry-dried coffee for the second time (which has won several competitions in previous years). The coffee has a berry-like acidity with a soft mouthfeel. The sweetness is high with flavors of lychee, tropical fruit and a soft body. A really good coffee from an inspiring and visionary producer
