Farm Info
Keramo coffee is from a privately owned processing site near Keramo Village, tucked away in the Bombe mountains of Ethiopia's Sidama growing region. Along with coffee from their own farm called "Daye Bensa", they are buying and processing coffee from local farmers from three different growing areas nearby - Shantawene, Bombe and Keramo villages.
This lot is a mix of coffees harvested from their own farm and out growers around Keramo village. The coffee in this lot is organically grown, but not brought in with a certificate. Both the wet mill and farms Keramo buy from have been certified organic, going to great lengths to register every small farmer who they buy from and certify that organic agricultural practices are being employed at the farm level (they're also Rain Forest Alliance and UTZ certified, but we only brought in with the organic certificate).
It's worth noting that the screen size is on the small side too. The majority of the coffee is 15+, but there are a few 14 screen beans in there too.
