Habtamu Fekadu Aga ('Kuri Mountain Coffee') was founded in 2015 by Aaga Dinsa, the grandson of a coffee farmer in Kuri kebele. The farm Aaga Dinsa inherited from his grandfather continues to serve as the center of the export operation with 105 hectares of planting in Kuri kebele and 837 hectares total including the farms of the 144 registered outgrowers that contribute cherry to company washing stations in Wolega, Guji and Jimma. The company holds organic certification as well as Fair for Life certification. Through Fair for Life, Habtamu Fekadu contributes $0.12 per pound of exports as well as 5% of company profits to a development fund reinvested in the community through food, clothing, schooling, roads, and facilities and equipment for healthcare. This is a washed coffee, meaning that after harvesting only large, ripe cherries, the fruit is separated from the seed, or de-pulped, before drying slowly and evenly on raised beds for several days depending on the weather conditions.

Brew it
What high acidity means
Ethiopia - Habtamu Fikadu is a high-acidity coffee from Gato, Jimma, Ethiopia. Acidity means a bright, lively taste, not a sour cup. The mandarin orange note is part of that brightness.
- Brew it as a pour-over or Chemex if you want that brightness clear and easy to taste.
- If it tastes sharp, grind a little coarser or use water around 195°F.
- Cold brew is the softer path. A long cold steep keeps the fruit and takes the snap out.
Flavor profile
Ethiopia - Habtamu Fikadu breaks down as fruity, citrus and floral.
Fruity×1
mixed berries
Ripe fruit. Berries and stone fruit taste juicy and sweet, not sharp.
Citrus×1
mandarin orange
A bright, zesty edge. Lemon, orange, or grapefruit show up as sparkle, not sour coffee.
Floral×1
lavender
Light perfume. Jasmine, rose, or blossom sits high in the aroma and is easiest to taste in a clean cup.
