THE STORY

Ethiopia | Bale Mountain | Israel Degfa

Bale Mountain! After years, we're finally pronouncing this one correct (Bal-eh, not Bale - thanks to the guys at Kamba Coffee for the correction). We always look forward to this coffee, but usually we opt for the naturally processed lot rather than the washed which is what we have this year. Super clean, light acidity, smooth body & lovely aromatic finish. Notes of vanilla, apple pie & delicate florals.

Bale Mountain is in an idyllic location, which is extremely hard to reach by road and surrounded by two large rivers that flow to the Wabe Shebelle River and Forest Mountains.

The coffee collected from the farm is notably dense and uniform, consistently delivering a high quality cup profile. Bale Mountain farm is also engaged in social responsibility activities like local road construction, nursery establishment and free distribution of coffee seedlings, school building and financial support during the off season. Kerchanshe (Israel Degfa's export company) helps the Bale mountain farm communities to be a productive and positive place to live and work.
