Belaneh Bariso

This coffee is now in our rescue beans category - these beans are 3 months from the roast date, which is when most roasters recommend consuming them. However, they are still well within their best-before date and remain full of character and perfectly brewable.

This anaerobic natural lot was processed by Belaneh Bariso - a young and dedicated coffee farmer in Sidamo region of Ethiopia

After completing high school, he tried trading in the Bensa area for a while, though found success elusive in busy marketplace. When he inherited a piece of land in the Wamerera village from his father, Belaneh decided instead to go back to his family’s tradition of coffee farming.

He replanted the land with 74110 and 74158 varietals from the local agricultural office, and intercropped with enset and avocado. Since then Belaneh has worked hard to grow his production numbers, and is an excellent example of a young farmer who is eager to achieve in the coffee industry.
