The Hambela estate is now world-famous for producing the best coffees in Ethiopia, no small part to the commitment of the Adinew brothers to elevate these coffees to heights unknown previously. This ultimately formed the family connection to the land and their harmony with the cycles of coffee production. Muluemebet was Africa’s first female pilot, and after World War II, she was gifted farmlands in Harar that became a private coffee estate. The soil that this coffee is grown in was a gift to Muluemebet Emiru in 1934. This hospitality lends to the harmony I experience in their coffees, and the efforts of their family work surpass the experience that buyers have with them and their coffees. Tariku Adinew has the gift of hospitality, making me feel at home when I’m halfway around the world, sleep-deprived, and usually over-caffeinated. Within our near eight-year relationship, both Tariku and Aman have proven to care deeply about their coffees, and about personal relationships. Since I’ve been involved with the Adinew brothers, it’s been proven time and time again that they are committed to producing some of the best coffees in Ethiopia, and they uphold high standards of business while doing so. That experience is evident in the cup, with its delicate florals and soft fruit characters, but it moves far deeper than the taste experience of the coffees. The primary word I’d use when describing the coffees and practices of METAD is harmony. The Adinews, Harmony, and Ethiopia’s First Female Pilot This mill has been custom-built to process micro-lots, as well as the FCL (full container load) lots that they export around the world. They’ve strategically built this on a thoroughfare that can take the milled and stuffed containers of coffee straight to the port without getting too caught up in the traffic around the city. Last season was an exciting new step for them, as they’ve built a state-of-the-art dry milling facility just outside Addis Ababa. Overall, METAD is a big part of what we do at Onyx, and over 50% of all our coffees from Ethiopia are either farmed or sourced through them. They are one of our best partners, and every year our staff and customers highly anticipate what the new season of their coffees has to offer. We’ve purchased this exact lot for the last three years and have worked with METAD for seven. This lot from the Hambela Estate, which has really developed over the years to become one of the highest quality cups in the country. They also own and farm the famed Hambela estate coffee farm, from which we purchase many micro-lots. Aman and Tariku, who are brothers, run what is widely considered the best Ethiopian coffee sourcing in the world. It’s only natural that our "friendly" holiday offering this year comes from our dear friends at METAD in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Enjoy 1% off with discount code "edumicate" Good job making it to the end of the ticker.
