By the time the cooperative formed, the region had become synonymous with low-grade, unwashed commercial coffee. Within a year of gaining access to a wet mill, their prices had quadrupled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ethiopia · Jimma Zone · Agaro · Biftu Gudina Cooperative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Washed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoast:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handbrew \/ Filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e V60, Chemex, AeroPress, Kalita\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Story\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA missionary who visited the Limmu Ennarya region in the 1840s recorded that the forest trees were carefully tended by order of the king. The Gomma people were always skilled farmers. By the late twentieth century, that heritage had been largely squandered: the Jimma region had become known for low-grade commercial coffee sold cheaply through intermediaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2011, the Technoserve Initiative helped 296 smallholders form the Biftu Gudina cooperative and gain access to a wet mill. The results were immediate: prices for their coffee increased by as much as four times. The cooperative now has over 600 members. The farmers of Gomma were always good at this. It just took the right structure to prove it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIn the Cup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrange and grape lead, with cinnamon-bun sweetness and cardamom spice underneath. Apricot in the mid-palate. A subtle silky texture — unusual for a washed coffee — gives it more body than expected.
