Advances in Traceability and Improvement of Conditions in Jimma, Ethiopia

This lot represents a significant milestone for the traceability and improvement of conditions for small farmers in Jimma, Ethiopia. Traditionally, coffees from this region were identified only by the generic name of the area or washing station. Today, we are proud to name this coffee in honor of Mensur Abahika, the person directly responsible for its cultivation.

Leadership and Collaboration in the Tokuma Group

Mensur Abahika leads the Tokuma Group, a small union of farmers in Jimma dedicated to sharing knowledge, advancements, and processing techniques. This collaboration allows farmers to improve their agricultural practices and optimize the quality of their harvests. The pooling of resources has enabled the Tokuma Group to establish its own washing station, which is a significant advancement in a region where natural processing has been the norm.

Benefits of the Union and the Own Washing Station

The creation of their own washing station not only allows the Tokuma Group to better control the production process but also facilitates direct negotiation with buyers. This ability to negotiate directly translates into greater traceability and quality of the coffee produced, which in turn enhances the reputation and value of their product in the international market.

Impact on the Quality of Life of Farmers

The ability to negotiate directly with buyers has had a positive impact on the quality of life of the farmers and their families. This improvement is reflected in higher incomes and more stable and secure living conditions. The traceability of the coffee not only ensures that consumers know exactly where their coffee comes from but also guarantees that farmers receive a fair price for their work and effort.

Conclusion

The success of the Tokuma Group and its ability to improve traceability and the quality of life of its members is an inspiring example of what can be achieved through collaboration and innovation. The story of Mensur Abahika and the Tokuma Group highlights the importance of recognizing and supporting small farmers, who are the backbone of coffee production in Ethiopia. This lot not only represents high-quality coffee but also a significant step towards a more just and sustainable future for the farmers of Jimma.

This is the cold brew coffee recipe that we propose for you to make 600ml of cold brew. The ratio, in case you want to brew more or less than this quantity, is 1:15, 1gr of coffee for every 15gr/ml of water.

Recipe and equipment:

• Coffee 40gr. (Use whichever coffee you prefer. We suggest coffees that you like in filter. The ones that are tagged with “Cold Brew” are our favourites).
• Grind size: Comandante 16 clicks.
• Water 600gr/ml at room temperature.
• Water composition: 2 parts of Lanjarón for 1 part of Bezoya.
• Mesh or silk.
• Glass container (preferably with a lid).
• Let it rest for 22 hours (in the fridge).

The way to make cold brew:

• Grind the coffee with a medium grind. Comandante 16 clicks.
• Pour the coffee directly into the mesh.
• Introduce the mesh in the glass container.
• Pour the water into the container through the mesh with the coffee.
• Swirl to wet all the coffee.
• Cover the container.
• Let it rest for 22 hours in the fridge (beware of strong odors!).
• When complete remove the mesh with the coffee and it will be ready.
• Bonus: you can filter it again through a V60, Kalita or similar paper filter to obtain a clean and more crystalline result.
• Keep it refrigerated.
• This recipe is not to dilute. Not even with ice. If you add ice, the composition of the ice water will affect the taste of your drink. Better to make your own ice with the same composition of water proposed. If you use ice, you may want to lower the ratio (1:9 to 1:12).
