Description
In the Sidama region, where the village of Shantawene is located, the genetic diversity of coffee varieties plays a major role in the character of the coffee. Rather than a single specific variety, you will mainly find indigenous (Heirloom) varieties here, sometimes complemented by seeds selected by the Jimma Agricultural Research Center (JARC).
When you drink a natural lot from Shantawene, such as those from producers like Daniso Horsa, it is likely that the coffee contains a mix of Kurume, Wolisho, Dega, and JARC selections such as 74110, 74112, and 74158.
The farmers select coffee plants based on both what grows well and what produces good flavor. Through collaborations with JARC, genetic diversity is supported, with a focus on local varieties and the flavor characteristics that make a region’s coffee unique.
