Aragash Gelcha Natural
This lot comes from Aragash Gelcha’s five-hectare farm in Halo Shashemene, one of the highland pockets that gives Gedeb its reputation for expressive, fruit-forward coffees. Aragash grows Kurume and 74110 at 2150 masl among enset and fruit trees, a mixed farming system that supports both soil health and her household of twelve children. Everything on the farm - from off-season pruning to harvest and sorting - is done by the family.
Kurume thrives at this altitude, producing compact cherries with concentrated sweetness. Paired with the natural process, it gives a cup with the depth and character Gedeb is known for. Production averages around 800 kg of green coffee per hectare, which reflects the consistency of the family’s agronomy rather than scale or mechanisation.
Ethiopia’s updated export rules allow smallholders to sell coffee directly, but accessing stable markets still takes support. This lot reaches us through Mecota Trading, whose model protects producer identity and keeps the full origin story intact.
