About Smallholder producers of Ethiopia
For the fifth consecutive season we have purchased coffee from producers in Shantawene community, and as usual it’s incredible!
The Abore site is the processing station that receives coffee from Shantawene community. The team at Abore is also responsible for previous offerings such as Qonqona, Bombe, Chire, and Keramo.
Shantawene Natural is the counterpart to the washed coffee of the same name. Natural processing involves prolonged fermentation of the coffee cherry, usually about 20-22 days depending on the conditions. During this time, constant turning and sorting of the coffee cherries is necessary to produce a consistent and quality product (pictured above). The result is a beautiful and bright cup of coffee packed with the fruit and berry flavors unique to natural process Ethiopian coffees.

In 2013, Insomnia's owners Evan Aldrete and Tyler Geel launched Dapper & Wise as a tasting room and roasting facility in Portland's Western suburbs, and by 2014, as a wholesaler as well.
Based out of Hillsboro, Oregon, Evan and Tyler work with a stellar team, all of whom are dedicated to the values that undergird Dapper & Wise: “We want people to walk through our doors and feel welcome. We want people to taste our coffee and be impressed and inspired. We want the coffee we roast to exemplify the hard work of the producers that grow it.”
