Ethiopia Bensa Bombe

These coffees have been exported through the private exporter Tariku Kare, which is a new partner of our exporter company Nordic Approach. Tariku Kare Exporters brought us coffee from two different Ethiopian regions Sidama and West Arsi, where they also manage their own mills in both locations. Tariku Kare Exporters received recognition from Africa Fine Coffee Association due to the amazing quality coffee they have provided over the years.

The Tariku Coffee Farms are located at high altitudes, ranging between 1900 and 2150 meters above sea level, which is a key factor to grow Grade 1 coffee beans. Generally, coffees are grown at 1,900 - 2,200 masl and processed at 1900 - 2100 masl.

Tariku Coffee engages in social responsibilities by investing back into their community. Work opportunities are generated for the local citizens, especially women, and social welfare. They employ 20 permanent employees and 600 workers.

Tariku Kare claims to donate part of the earnings to charity by supplying school materials to children from low-income families and offering financial help to the families. Additionally, Tariku offers training at the farm to help farmers achieve great quality coffee in order to incentivise the production of specialty, and they have as well created a platform for local growers to help them retail their products at the national level.

We really love the coffees from this exporter, similar to the previous Ethiopian Bensa Shantawene, the cup is so clean and fruit forward. Loads of orange fruits and citrus and sweet peach, coupled with a floral hint in the finish that reminds us of orange blossom.
