OVERVIEW:
Discover the exquisite flavors of Ethiopia Shantawene Coffee, a product of Daye Bensa – a renowned coffee grower and exporter based in Ethiopia. This exceptional coffee, named after the Shantawene Village, has earned recognition, including a 7th place in the 2020 Cup of Excellence out of over 1,400 entries.

PRODUCER:
Daye Bensa, founded in 2006 by brothers Asefa and Mulugeta Dukamo, is at the heart of the Shantawene Village, exporting coffee from its farm and out-growers in the Shantawene, Karamo, and Bombe villages. The majority of the workforce, many of them women, hail from the Shantawene Village.

ALTITUDE AND LOCATIONS:
The Daye Bensa coffee farm stretches between 1,900 and 2,217 meters, while the cherries delivered by out-growers come from even higher altitudes, ranging from 2,000 to 2,400 meters. Daye Bensa boasts 15 washing stations across three districts and manages all aspects of the coffee export process. The company's farms in Kaffa and Sidamo are certified for Organic, UTZ, Rainforest Alliance, and C.A.F.E. practices.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT:
Daye Bensa emphasises community engagement through its annual Out-Growers Day, where nearly 1,000 farmers gather to celebrate their harvests and receive second payments for their contributions. Furthermore, the top three farmers from each of the three villages are recognised with certificates and cash prizes for consistently delivering high-quality cherries.

FUTURE INITIATIVES:
Daye Bensa has plans to collaborate with more farmers, particularly focusing on encouraging women in coffee farming. The company is also looking to partner with Hawassa University to conduct research aimed at enhancing coffee quality.

Profile: Smooth and Bright

If you could describe your perfect coffee in 3 words… what would it be? Smooth and sweet ? Strong and rich? Bold and full bodied? You are talking about “profile”

* Bright - juicy, fruity flavours that are more complex
* Smooth - sweeter tasting, rounded flavour and aftertaste, with a balanced strength.
* Strong - coffee that has an intense, rich flavour from start to finish.

Roast: Medium

Roast level refers to how dark the coffee beans have been roasted, influencing the flavour and characteristics of your coffee. The darker the roast the more of the roasted flavour and strength is in the coffee but the trade off is a reduction in the coffee's origin flavours.

* Dark Roast: The beans are roasted to a deep, rich color. Dark roasts are often favoured for milk-based drinks, providing a robust base that pairs perfectly with creamy textures.
* Medium Roast: With softer caramels and hints of milk chocolate, medium-roasted beans strike a balance between boldness and smoothness. They're a popular choice for those who enjoy both milk and black coffee.
* Light Roast: Preserves the origin character of the coffee but with a trade off of strength and boldness. Bright and often fruity, light-roasted beans retain their natural flavors and acidity, offering a refreshing taste profile. These beans are typically preferred for black coffee, highlighting their vibrant qualities without the addition of milk.

Intensity: 3 / 6 (Low)

High intensity coffees, with a rating of +4.5, are known for their robust flavors, making them perfect for milk coffees or bold black brews.

If you prefer a milder experience, with a smoother texture and gentler flavor profile, you might find your match with coffees rated 4 and below. These brews offer a more subtle taste journey, akin to the lightness of tea.

Flavour: Fruity and Caramel

The flavour profile refers to the distinct characteristics that shape your coffee experience, enhancing its intensity and overall profile. This is what you can actually taste in your coffee - dark chocolate, walnuts, citrus.....

The flavour comes from the beans themselves, no flavouring is added.

This coffee has flavours that include:

Fruity
Caramel

Origin: Ethiopia

The countries where the beans are sourced from. This coffee includes beans from

Ethiopia

Acidity: High

Acidity in coffee refers to the presence of acidic flavour compounds, which play a crucial role in enhancing and adding complexity to the brew. Acid sounds harsh, but it can be a good thing - oranges are acidic but sweet and refreshing.

Lower acid coffees are great for milk and sweet infusions like syrups. While higher acidic coffeess bring juicyness, sweetness and brightness which is wonderful for those who enjoy it black.

Crema: Thin

Crema is the golden foam that sits atop an espresso, formed when oils and dissolvable solids emulsify with carbon dioxide and water during the brewing process. It's not just a visual treat—it also adds depth and texture to your coffee experience.
