Meet the premium coffee from Ethiopia, Yirgacheffe region, Gedeb coffee heritage.

The story of Daniel Alemayehou Farm began in 1961, when a young Ethiopian named Daniel Miju set out to find new land to establish his farm. He set out from his family home located in Sidamo and ended up in the lush forests around the Chalbes Sack near Gedeb. This is the region where he decided to establish his new coffee farm. He soon found himself a wife and started a family. One of the most important goals he set for himself was to build a farm that would last his lifetime and give work to his children. He set a goal before his children that they would represent their father's legacy with dignity. Daniel's land was divided among his children after his death, and they work together to harvest all the family's plots. At Sochaccy Coffee Roastery, we were able to get coffee from one of Daniel Miju's sons, Daniel Alemayehou, his father's namesake. It's not easy because the coffee from this region, Gedeb, is considered the best because of the soil and climate conditions, and we have the pleasure of presenting to you the true richness of Ethiopian coffee at its best, the first sort (gr.1).

Daniela Alemayehou employs between 40 and 60 people during the harvest, which is quite a lot for a plot of several hectares, and when asked why he does it, he says that the key to the quality of the coffees bearing his name is the right time of harvest; the coffee cannot be picked later or earlier, but only at the exact moment when it reaches full maturity. His uncompromising attention to the quality of his plantation coffee is yielding very good results. He has received an independent coffee export license from the government, which is a sign of the absolute highest quality of coffee. With the higher prices he gets for his coffee, he can invest more in his farm.

The Daniel Alemayehou plantation lies at an altitude of 2,050 to 2,110 meters above sea level. After harvesting, the coffee is dried for 15 days in the sun and then the dried berry skins are removed.

In the coffee, notes of black currant, jasmine and vanilla come to the forefront of the flavor notes. The coffee is sweet. It is ideal for espresso in espresso machines as well as for traditional coffee machines. In the light roast, it is more citrusy under alternative methods.
