Shantawene has won 7th place (from more than 1,400 entries) in the 2020 Cup of Excellence in Ethiopia!
In 2006, brothers Asefa and Mulugeta Dukamo founded Daye Bensa, a coffee grower and exporter in Ethiopia. Daye Bensa exports coffee from its farm, in the Shantawene Village, as well as from "out-growers" (or smallholders) in three villages: Shantawene, Karamo and Bombe. It gets its name from the Shantawene Village where it is grown amidst the misty valleys of Ethiopia’s Sidamo growing region.
This is a prime example of naturally processed Ethiopian coffee. In natural processing, the coffee is picked ripe and then left in the cherry during the drying process, translating into incredible fruit flavor in the cup.
Cupping notes: Raspberry jam, plum, tropical, spice. Clean and complex, juicy acidity with a clean finish.
