Single Farmer Project

The Single Farmer Project is the result of an effort to support Ethiopian producers with a marketplace for farm-traceable coffees. Back in 2012, during a turbulent time in Ethiopia's coffee exporting history, Partner and CEO Jason Long worked with an established cooperative to export some of the first ever truly “Farm Traceable” lots from Ethiopia. This was the first time a roaster could highlight the individual farmer for their Ethiopian Coffee. It was the start of an incredible project and truly began the movement for traceability in Ethiopia as we see more often today. This project also gave us some very fun stories like literally bringing a backpack full of Ethiopian Birr to Yirgacheffe with COO Noah Namowicz to pay the premiums directly to these farmers who participated. 

This project is made possible in conjunction with important export partners supporting and bringing to market individual farmer lots. Samples are sent out to potential buyers, price is negotiated on the farmers' behalf, and contracts are only accepted when the producer agrees on a sales price and their name is on the contract for each coffee they sell. 

Mr. Gobena Bendo

Mr. Gobena Bendo is a 65-year-old farmer with a lifetime of experience in coffee production. He inherited 10 hectares of land from his father and hopes to pass it on to some of his children, who still live in the same village. For many years, he has relied on income from coffee production to support his livelihood. This income covers his expenses for health, transportation, and other daily needs.

Mr. Gobena produces 7 to 8 quintals of coffee per hectare and also grows cereals on part of his land to meet his family’s annual food consumption needs. To assist with the farmwork, he employs two part-time workers, in addition to the help he receives from his adult children, who live nearby with their parents.

Transform your morning ritual with a fully traceable, single-farmer Ethiopian filter roast.

For Australian specialty coffee lovers who crave a crisp, bright cup, this washed Yirgacheffe delivers. Roasted in Melbourne to highlight its elegant profile, it offers a beautifully clean pour-over experience bursting with notes of sweet peach, vibrant tangerine, and delicate elderflower.

Filter Brew Recommendation
Best extracted using a manual pour-over method like a V60 or Chemex to showcase its clean, floral aromatics. Use a 1:15 brew ratio with water at 93°C, targeting a total extraction time between 2:15 and 2:30 for a brilliantly balanced and sweet cup.

Yirgacheffe Terroir & Extreme Altitude
Sourced from the Banko Gotiti washing station in the celebrated Yirgacheffe region. Cultivated at an extreme elevation of 2,200 to 2,300 meters above sea level, these washed heirloom beans develop slowly, resulting in the dense, complex sugars essential for a top-tier specialty filter coffee.

The Single Farmer Project & Mr. Gobena Bendo
Part of a groundbreaking traceability initiative that ensures contracts are negotiated on the farmer's behalf, with premiums paid directly into their hands. Cultivated by 65-year-old Mr. Gobena Bendo on his multi-generational family farm, every bag directly supports his livelihood and local community.

Frequently asked questions

What does Washed Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee taste like?
A high-quality washed Ethiopian Yirgacheffe delivers a bright, exceptionally clean cup defined by delicate floral and citrus characteristics. Because Mr. Gobena Bendo’s Grade 1 Heirloom beans undergo a traditional washed process, where the fruit is entirely removed before drying, the final cup features pristine clarity, highlighting crisp notes of tangerine, sweet peach, and aromatic elderflower.
How do I brew washed Ethiopian filter coffee at home?
To get the best results from a delicate washed Ethiopian coffee, use a manual pour-over method with a 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio and filtered water heated to exactly 93°C. Because washed coffees are prized for their bright acidity and tea-like body, aiming for a precise brew time of 2 minutes 15 seconds to 2 minutes 30 seconds will perfectly extract the peach and elderflower notes without introducing any astringency or bitterness.
What is the Single Farmer Project for Ethiopian coffee?
The Single Farmer Project is a pioneering ethical sourcing initiative that allows Ethiopian coffee to be traced directly back to individual farmers rather than blended at large regional washing stations. This specific micro-lot is fully traceable to Mr. Gobena Bendo, a 65-year-old farmer in Yirgacheffe, ensuring he negotiates his own sales price, puts his name on the contract, and receives direct premium payments to support his family and his 10-hectare farm.
