Shitaye Momo Shalo comes from a long tradition of coffee. Her father, Momo, and her grandfather, Shalo, have farmed for nearly a century before her. Using the experience she gained from them, Shitaye now farms on 5 hectares of land alongside her husband Mulugeta. 

We sourced this lot through our exporting partner SNAP. As an exporter, they go above and beyond to provide training to all the smallholder farmers they work with. In Ethiopia, we most often see lots from multiple farms mixed and labeled as the washing station where it was processed. Recently, SNAP has been working to separate exceptional lots and export them as single-farm coffees. This allows more transparency in pricing and traceability. This single-farm Ethiopian lot it a first for Ceremony and we're beyond excited to continue supporting this work in future seasons. 
 

This is a natural processed lot that represents all the juicy, sparkling blueberry notes we've come to expect from this region of Ethiopia. We recommend brewing this coffee at 1:16 ratio, with filtered water at 208℉, and a 3-3.5 minute brew time. Look forward to notes of blueberry, floral jasmine, and cane sugar.
