On the first sip, notice a slight acidity of White Peach, which is followed by a sweet body throughout of golden honey. It is soft and delicate in mouthfeel, which settles into a clean finish.

• Farmlevel Story

  Farmlevel

  Before creating the cooperative, Boto farmers would bring their harvest to local markets for private traders to buy. The sales never amounted to much, as the traders would determine the price, which averaged between 1.5-3.25 birr (.07-.38 USD) per pound. Given these prices, it is no surprise that coffee benefited the farmers little, if at all.
  
  Fast forward with time and infrastructure to support farmers, and now coffee from Kata Maduga sells for nearly five times as much as it used to. It is also expected to yield a 50% increase to each farmer's income.
  
  The coop (which now totals more than 130 members) understands how much quality coffee benefits them. They highly value cooperation and actively help each other. They will share their experiences, trading advice, and farming practices that might help their fellow farmers. We have seen such a result in the coffees year after year.
