Ethiopia Sidama Boreta G1 Natural

Sidama Boreta is a high quality Ethiopian coffee that comes from the Sidama region, specifically the Arbegona area. This coffee is processed using the natural method in the Boreta washing station owned by Asefa Dukamo. 

The Sidama region is an ideal place for growing coffee due to its fertile soil and high altitude. Daye Bensa is committed not only to processing and exporting quality coffee here, but also to supporting local communities through infrastructure and education projects. 

The harvest begins with the careful hand-picking of ripe cherries, which are then sorted according to quality in water tanks. After sorting, the cherries are dried on raised beds where they are rotated regularly to ensure even drying. This process takes 12 to 15 days, after which the coffee is peeled and prepared for export. 

The variety explained: JARC was established in 1967 to coordinate, generate, and disseminate coffee research for Ethiopian farmers. It is part of the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR). JARC has released 42 coffee varieties for different regions and conducts research on quality, diseases and pests, agronomy, soil, conservation practices, and socioeconomics. 74158 is one of those varieties.
