About the Farmer
Bensa Segera is a rare coffee grown in volcanic soils at high altitudes by farmers from the village of Segera. The farmers work small plots, often grown alongside other food crops, covering a few hectares at most. The cherries are hand-picked, guaranteeing a selection process resulting in coffees of high quality.
Ethiopia is considered the cradle of coffee and famous for the fact that it was in the forest in the Kaffa region where Coffea Arabica grew wild. Nowadays, the country shows a typical “smallholder” structure. This means that a high number of farmers with a usually small production yield carries together their cherries and bring them to central washing stations rather than processing their coffee with their own machinery. At the washing stations, the beans are carefully sorted before being processed. Coffees from the Sidamo region have a very special character and unique cup profile that justify considering them as some of the best coffees in the world.
