This traceability is rare for a terroir coffee

2020, shocking! Ethiopian regulations allowed us to access traceability information and the washing stations were able to export directly!

The law now allows Ethiopian producers to sell their coffee directly as an exporter abroad. Previously, this was reserved for producers with large areas of land. All the others, i.e. the vast majority of Ethiopian producers, had to send their production through the coffee exchange in Addis Ababa (EXC), which was then responsible for organising international sales, via the largest exporters. 

This new traceability, which allows us to know the washing station, allows us to tell you that this year Nyala coffee was fully washed at ZB Washing Station in the Adola district.
This may change and, while remaining under the Sidama A designation, other stations may supply this coffee, which we always select as Q2, fully washed, 83+.

This fully washed Nyala coffee is guaranteed to be Sidama A (also known as Sidamo in some translations). It offers fruit notes, good acidity and a smooth body.
This year's Nyala coffee comes from the Adola woreda, from which it takes its name.

The farm Adola - Nyala

Cette appellation Sidama (également dénommée Sidamo suivant les traductions) est divisée en 4 aires simplement distinguées par les lettres A, B, C, D. Chacune de ces quatre aires offre un profil de tasse spécifique. L’appellation Sidama A, par sa sucrosité, ses notes de fruits jaunes (abricot, pêche) est celle qui offre le profil Sidama / Sidamo type. Chacune est rattachée à une zone géographique précise, qui se calque sur les découpages administratifs. Ainsi, l’appellation Sidama A s’étend sur : - la zone Guji qui est constituée des districts (woreda) de Odo Shakisso, Uraga, Hambela, Kercha, Adola et Anassora. - la zone Sidama qui est constituée des districts de Bensa, Chiré, Aroressa. Le café Nyala proposé cette année est issu du woreda d’Adola, dont il prend le nom. Cette traçabilité est rare pour un café de la gamme Terroir. Elle a été permise par un changement récent de législation en Éthiopie. En effet, depuis 2 ans la loi permet aux producteurs éthiopiens de vendre directement leur café en tant qu’exportateur à l’étranger. Avant, cela était réservé aux producteurs qui exploitaient des superficies importantes. Tous les autres, soit la grande majorité des producteurs éthiopiens, devaient faire transiter leurs productions par la bourse du café à Addis Abeba (ECX) qui se chargeait ensuite d’organiser les ventes à l’international, via les plus grands exportateurs. Cette traçabilité nouvelle nous permet de vous dire que cette année le café Nyala a été lavé à ZB Washing Station (district d’Adola). Cela pourra évoluer et, tout en restant d’appellation Sidama A, d’autres stations peuvent fournir ce café que nous sélectionnons toujours Q2, lavé, 83 +.

A few words about Daye Bensa

The Daye Bensa company was created by two brothers, Assefa Dukamo and Mulugeta Dukamo, about fifteen years ago. Determined to reveal the high potentials of coffees of their country, they have, over the years, developed a company which today holds an important place in the production, collection and export of coffee from Sidama. Daye Bensa currently manages two farms in this region, 19 washing stations in the producing region and 5 coffee preparation warehouses located in the city, notably in Addis Ababa. They work with more than 1,400 small producers from whom they select the most beautiful cherries. The company also organizes regular training for these producers to further improve the quality of these coffees. These solid establishments, at different stages of the industry, allow Daye Bensa to offer qualitative coffees on the international scene. They centralize their activities from their headquarters in Addis Ababa, which brings together 15 people with varied skills, quality, logistics, finance, export etc. As a sign of recognition for this applied work, two of their coffees were selected this year for the Cup of Excellence 2020.
