Imported by Falcon Coffees and produced by Mustefa Abakeno is a smallholder producer near Agaro in the Jimma Zone of Western Ethiopia. The small wet mill Abakeno set up (called Beshasha) is used to process his and his neighboring farmers’ coffee, which he keeps separate and dries on raised beds near his house.  In partnership with Falcon Coffee added an agronomist to Abakeno's team for further training and support for Mustefa and the local farmers, improve the quality and productivity of their coffee gardens.

*A bit more about how this coffee is processed: Mustefa ferments the pulped coffee for a short period (8 hours) before he moves it to his drying beds and the result is something like a light honey.
