Ethiopia Guji Hambela Buliye

Hambela Buliye is one of a few coffee processing sites managed by Kedir and Esmael Hassan, who run Hambela Dabaye, and others as well. They only produce dry process coffee at Hambela Buliye, and are receiving coffee from 200 registered farmers, as well as from their own "Buliye" farm nearby. They are mostly buying coffee from farmers in the surrounding kebeles of Buliye, Wamana, Borticha, Dari Rogicha and Dabaye. What's interesting about having a site that only produces naturals, is that you're not tied to a water source for processing coffee, and can build them very high in the mountain. Buliye rests in a very high altitude zone of around 2150-2200 meters above sea level, and the farms are planted at a wider range. This year's coffee is as fruited as ever, and displays very nice level of acidity too, not always the case with natural processed coffee.
