About This Coffee

Khalid Shifa is the owner of Echemo. He is 3rd generation coffee farmer and inherited the 35 hectare farm from his father. Echemo is situated near the town of Agaro, in Goma in the south west part of Ethiopia. At 2100 meters above sea level the climate is moderate at daytime and cool at night. This makes the coffee cherries ripen slowly and the beans dense and of high quality. Khalid is farming 100% organically and the farm and coffee is organic certified. This means that he is not using any pesticides, herbicides or fungicides. Nor is he using any mineral fertilisers. They remove weeds by manual labour and believe that by creating a healthy eco system, pests and diseases will be less of a problem.
