Coffees from Ethiopia are prone to standing out in a crowd. In this case, Daye Bensa is a little harder to pin down. It has a little more of a rounded sweetness to it, which is a characteristic often times more reminiscent of a Latin American coffee when it’s at its peak. Daye Bensa is sweet, beautiful, and very drinkable.

About Smallholder producers of Ethiopia
Ethiopia, widely acknowledged as the birthplace of coffee, produces some of the most exceptional and dramatic coffees found anywhere in the world. An estimated 15 million Ethiopians are employed by the coffee industry, and Ethiopia is hugely reliant of coffee as a major source of revenue: it accounts for close to 70% of all export earnings.
https://harvestmkt.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/13-Greenway-Image.png With its place in the local history, coffee is firmly nestled in Ethiopia’s local way of life. It’s played a role in indigenous cultural practices for several generations, the most significant of these being the local “coffee ceremony.” The ubiquity of coffee in Ethiopian culture can be succinctly described with one of their ancient proverbs – “Buna dabo naw” – which means “coffee is our bread”.
