This exceptional coffee is exported through Ethiopia's only female miller/exporter, an exceptional woman. Asnakech Thomas is one of the most inspiring figures in Ethiopian coffee today. Native to the Amaro region, Asnakech decided in 2005 to return to her homeland to improve coffee quality at her mill and in local communities. She is one of the few people to travel weekly between Addis and the coffee areas. The Amaro Mountains are a small range separating the communities of Amaro on the eastern slopes from Nechisar National Park and the lowland tribal areas of Arba Minch in southwest Ethiopia, Sidama region. The local coffee varieties, relatively light population, waterfalls and highland bamboo forests are among the many unique features of the area. All Amaro Gayo coffee is certified organic.

Cup Characteristics: Aromatics reminiscent of warm blueberry muffins. Tamarind and fresh raspberries, thick body, rich semi-sweet cocoa aftertaste, very clean and consistent.
