Money Trees (clean) [2021]

Ethiopia is the birthplace of arabica coffee and has a longstanding tradition of coffee production. Growing, processing and drinking coffee is part of everyday life for Ethiopian society, but coffee is also the most important cash crop for the country accounting for 60% of total foreign exports. A significant amount of Ethiopian coffee originates in small ‘garden farms’ and it is not uncommon for families to have a few ‘money trees’ growing in their backyard. The coffee they produce can be enjoyed by family and friends, or sold on to co-ops or mills to bring in valuable income. We’ve named this Tega & Tula Estate lot, Money Trees, in honour of coffee’s value to the Ethiopian people. The clean version of Money Trees is a fully washed micro lot from a special block on the estate. In the cup the clean Money Trees begins with an intoxicating aroma of orange blossom before leading into complex notes of fresh mango , grape zappo and a sparkling acidity, before a clean and lingering cola finish. This coffee was ethically sourced by our mates at Cafe Imports.
