Coffee Description
Where to start! This exceptional coffee is a swirling universe of integrated flavors. Strawberry jam combines with notes of plum and grape while soft florals—pink rose and purple flowers—mingle with honey, sandalwood and a chaser of gummy bears.

About Keramo Growers & Bombe Washing Station of Ethiopia
Keramo lies high in the beautiful Bombe mountains, so remotely situated that it lacks its own washing station. The growers processed their coffees through the Bombe washing station, and the results became a standout favorite on the cupping table. Catalyst Trade Quality and Sourcing Director, Michael McIntyre, says, "The Keramo is one of the best coffees I've ever had in my life. It is so aromatic, so herbal, fruity, floral—while still delicate and resonating at the same time."
Not only is Bombe wet mill well-organized and run by a team including newest member Atkilt Dejene (shown here), a female agronomist who has also worked with the award-winning Gesha Village project, but the community of producers achieved several levels of certification, including NOP and JAS Organic as well as C.A.F.E. Practices. This allows the local coffee cherries, already grown using organic practices, to reach new markets around the world.
