ETHIOPIA / BERHANU KURSE

Mr. Berhanu Kurse lives in the village of Gotiti, in the Gedeo district of Ethiopia’s Southern Regional State. Gedeo is known for its high altitude and high-quality coffee production. Mr. Kurse owns 12 hectares of land, most of which is planted with coffee trees. His children, who also own smaller plots of land, help him manage the coffee farm. He inherited the land from his parents, and coffee production remains the family’s main source of income, covering basic needs as well as expenses such as education, healthcare, and transportation.

Natural coffees are typically delivered the day they are harvested, and are first sorted for ripeness and quality before being rinsed clean of dirt. Then they are spread on raised drying beds or tables, where they will be rotated constantly throughout the course of drying. Drying can take an average of 8–25 days, depending on the weather.

Customers who purchase whole bean coffee should be aware that the product is non-refundable. It is also important for customers to cancel their purchase before the product is shipped if they wish to do so. Once the coffee has been shipped, cancellation is no longer possible. This policy is designed to ensure that customers receive the freshest coffee possible and that the company can continue to meet the high standards of quality that their customers expect.

We use Swiss Post and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 working days. However, delivery times vary depending on the destination and chosen delivery method, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date. Once the payment is completed, we will schedule your order for the next roasting day. After roasting, we will ship your coffee.
