Ethiopia Shantawene
Tasting Notes: raspberry, plum, lavender
Shantawene Village is located in the Bensa District of Sidama, Ethiopia. This natural lot is a collection of coffees from the village, produced at the local mill run by the Dukamo Family. The mill at Shantawene Village has become quite successful--taking 7th place in the inaugural Cup of Excellence competition for Ethiopia. We think you’ll enjoy this complex, fruit-forward Ethiopian coffee!
ROAST LEVEL
