The cherries of the affiliated outgrower families come from even higher on the mountain, up to 2,400 meters. The higher the altitude, the more slowly the cherry ripens, and the more time it has to build sweetness and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOur starting recipes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePour-over, V60\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRatio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:16, i.e. 20 g to 320 g water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrind size:\u003c\/strong\u003e medium · \u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e 93–94 °C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTarget time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2:30 to 3:15 minutes total brew time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTime is more important than the number on the grinder.

In the green coffee trade Sidamo remains the usual designation, and the coffee is traded under that name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coffee comes from Daye Bensa Coffee, founded in 2006 by the brothers Asefa and Mulugeta Dukamo. Mulugeta's task from the beginning was to build and expand the washing stations, i.e. precisely the processing step to which this coffee owes its clarity. In addition to the farm itself, outgrower families from Shantawene, Karamo and Bombe deliver their cherries to the washing stations. In Shantawene the majority of people work in coffee cultivation, including many women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Shantawene lot from this farm placed 7th in 2020 at the Cup of Excellence in Ethiopia among more than 1,400 submitted coffees. \u003cem\u003eThe award applies to a competition lot from 2020, not to our batch.
