Ethiopia
Hambela Alaka Washing Station, Guji
The story of this coffee begins in 1934, when a woman named Muluemebet Emiru becomes Africa's first female pilot (see story for more). The coffee from her grandson's export company comes from the Alaka village (Ethiopian: Kebele) in southern Ethiopia. It is grown at an altitude of between 1900 and 2250 meters by smallholder farmers who then take their harvest to the Hambela Alaka Washing Station in Guji for processing. It is a naturally processed coffee that is sun-dried on African Beds for several weeks.

Natural processing
The Heirloom variety is a collective name for rare varieties from Ethiopia that have not yet been identified or clearly named due to their genetic diversity. The reason: There are between six and ten thousand coffee varieties in Ethiopia – so actually every village in Ethiopia could have its own variety.

Alaka
Our first release from Hambela Alaka Farm is here and we are very happy about this exciting lot from Ethiopia. The farm consists of several small farmers who grow their coffees organically. This particular lot consists exclusively of the Heirloom varietal mentioned above and is captivating in its complexity with notes of yellow stone fruit, bergamot and pomelo. Depending on the drinking temperature, you can expect a kaleidoscope of complex aromas and an intensely structured cup – just typical Ethiopia.
Story
In 1934, a woman named Muluemebet Emiru became Africa's first female pilot. For her bravery, the Ethiopian was rewarded by Emperor Haile Selassie: she was given lush farmland with wild coffee trees in the Harar and Sidamo regions. With the help of her family, she developed the farmland of Harar into a private coffee plantation.
Since those early days, the family developed a deep connection to the country and so it is not surprising that this connection is still continued today – decades later – by their grandson Aman. He is the founder of a production and export company for Ethiopian coffee: Metad.
Soziales Engagement
Hambela Alaka (part of Metad) is a forward-thinking farm with a holistic approach that extends from its farming practices to its workers, for whom housing and medical care are provided. In addition, Metad invests a portion of its profits in initiatives that work to build elementary school, hospitals and wells as a source of drinking water.

Sustainable cultivation and quality awareness
Similar to wine, the origin, cultivation and careful harvesting also form the basis for a specialty coffee. For our coffees, we use only ripe and hand-picked 100% Arabica coffee beans, because the elaborate harvest by hand is an essential quality criterion. Our highland coffees are natural products and are grown in shady forest gardens in a nature-friendly way. This preserves the biodiversity in the growing region. The coffee cherries can ripen slowly at cool altitudes with nutritious and fertile soil conditions. The coffee plants have more time to develop their characteristic and fruity aromas under these optimal climatic conditions near the equator.
Freshly roasted by hand
All Röststätte coffees are gently roasted by hand in Berlin so that the natural flavors can fully develop without unwanted acids. For a pronounced body and a versatile flavor profile in the cup, we want to emphasize and optimally process the special features of the respective variety, farm and origin of the coffee with our roasting. The aim is to exploit the full potential of the green coffee through our roasting process in order to highlight the valuable work of the producers in the growing countries. These are our quality principles – from source to the final cup.
