SEPTEMBER - Nguisse Nare

Nguisse Nare is a part of a small number of single origin producers who dedicate time and resources to improving natural processing and harvesting of traceable single origins in Ethiopia. Nguisse grows JARC 74158, taro, and sweet potato. He focuses on natural and anaerobic processing, often processing coffee cherries grown and collected by his neighbours in addition to his own.

The Setame farm has its own drying station, which gives Nguisse control over the process from start to finish. The cherries for this lot are collected, floated, and then dried slowly for approximately 20 days, resulting in a deeply sweet and complex cup.
