Flavour profile: A cup full of citrus fruitAna Sora has an aroma of pomelo and bergamot. Flavour notes of lemon zest and black tea, with hints of papaya and white florals and a long-lasting vibrant acidity. The coffee has a juicy mouthfeel that together with the high acidity reminds us of Fanta Lemon.

Ana Sora is the highest-grown coffee we buy, at an altitude of 2350 meters. That the coffee is this highly grown, makes the coffee cherries mature slower, but also it takes longer for the coffee beans to ferment and to dry on the drying tables. The altitude gives the coffee lots of acidity and vibrancy on its own and being the washed version of Ana Sora you can expect the citrus fruits to really pop.

Ethiopia is a poor country, producing amazing coffee. The frustration of visiting, and seeing the living standards in terms of access to clean water and electricity, is overwhelming. This is one of the biggest reasons we have the trust of working with Israel Degfa. He is working hard to get people out of poverty through coffee and creating working opportunities by opening process stations in areas where no other work existed, as at Ana Sora. All of the workers are registered and covered by the certifications, organic, and rainforest alliance. Nearby Ana Sora there is a school called Yerba Buleye, which works with the farm to teach the children how to work and farm coffee. Ana Sora also supports an orphanage school in the neighboring village.

Most coffee in Ethiopia comes from cooperatives, not private farms. Working with Israels' private farms makes it easy to maintain our relationships and keep in contact with the producer. But mainly, because we have a lot of trust in the way he is working with all the people he is employing and his vision for society. 

Ana Sora is built up to produce mainly specialty coffee. When we started working with Ana Sora, the coffee cherries were being delivered to another washing station by truck. With bad roads and high altitude, this was challenging, and if it rained it was impossible. We are beyond excited for the process- and drying stations now built and in use at Ana Sora. But also because we are amazed by Israel's processing standards. 

The surrounding land of Ana Sora is populated by smallholder farmers who are of Oromo ethnicity and speak mainly Oromo. Israel believes in helping those farmers with education in husbandry and financial assistance. He feels this is the only way to produce sustainable coffee in Ethiopia. The pickers and all of the workers are registered and covered by the rainforest alliance certification.
