Ethiopië Lekempti GR4 | Ongebrande koffiebonen | 1 kilo

Rich aroma with mild and sweet notes, medium acidity, and a full body, lovely and lemony with a fruity aftertaste.

Arabica coffee has its roots in Ethiopia. The tale goes that a shepherd named Kaldi stumbled upon coffee by chance when he noticed his goats becoming more energetic after nibbling on ripe, red coffee berries.

Considering that coffee is a labour-intensive crop, it provides a livelihood for over 15 million people in Ethiopia. More than 90% of coffee is grown by small-scale farmers.

Bear in mind that this is unroasted coffee, so it needs to be roasted before you can enjoy it.
