Duromina, means 'to improve their lives.'
When we first started roasting, coffee from the area of Djimma in Western Ethiopia was synonymous with poor quality and a natural dried process. Skip to 2010 and around one hundred local coffee farmers in Djimma banded together to form Duromina. As the name suggests, their goal was simples: to improve their lives.
With technical support, business advice and access to finance through the Technoserve coffee Initiative, the members acquired and installed a wet mill and began processing fully washed coffee for the first time. After all they had the perfect altitude, soils, varietals and rainfall to do so!
The improvements made helped Duromina produce high-quality coffee and bring new prosperity to the community. Two years later, an international panel of professional judges would select Duromina's coffee as the best in Africa, awarding the cooperative the top prize in the leading regional cupping competition. Pretty good going!
This coffee, Lot 29 achieves 87.5 specialty points and achieves a classic balance of sweet and citrus flavours with a tea like texture and floral notes.
