We have a washed and natural Ethiopian for this months box.
Rumudamo Washed
From The Coffee Quest:
"Rumudamo Station is located in Arbegona woreda or Village and is part of the Sidama zone. Managed by Asefa Dukamo Korma, the site sits at an elevation of 2,200 m.a.s.l and is dedicated to producing both Washed, Honey and Natural coffees, where more than 600 farmers contribute with their cherries, mostly with 74112 Heirloom Variety.
For the Natural lot, the coffee is purchased from the farmers, hand-selected once it arrives at the site, and placed to dry in African beds, with constant movement to ensure an even drying. For the Washed lot, the coffee is de-pulped once it arrives at the site, wet fermented for between 48-72 hours, washed and then later placed to dry in African beds to dry for between 8-12 days.
Located amongst the highest elevation when compared to other coffee-growing areas, Rumudamo has a story of excellence, having placed 2nd and 3rd in the 2020 Cup of Excellence of Ethiopia."

Hamasho Natural
From The Coffee Quest:
“Hamasho Station is located in the Hamasho Kebele or Village and is part of the Bensa area, in Sidama, Ethiopia. Managed by Asefa Dukamo Korma, the site sits at an elevation of 1,920 – 2,020 m.a.s.l and is dedicated to producing both Natural and Washed coffees. Hamasho or “Serpent”, translated to English, works with over 600 farmers who contribute with their cherries, mostly with 74158 Variety.
With its mix of rainy and sunny days, the Hamasho region really benefits from its microclimate conditions. In addition, due to the warmer days and cooler nights from such a high elevation, the beans develop slowly and are very dense, with higher concentrations of the smaller screen sizes (the majority of the coffee screen sizes at 13-14). ”
