Konga Smallholders
1Coffees0followers0Check-ins
Konga sits in the Gedeo Zone of southern Ethiopia, within the wider Yirgacheffe region long regarded as one of coffee's birthplaces. Here hundreds of smallholders tend tiny garden plots of indigenous heirloom varieties, picking ripe cherry by hand and delivering it to the local station. Grade 1 naturals are dried whole and slow on raised beds, turned by hand through the day so the fruit sugars concentrate right into the bean — painstaking work that gives the cup its jammy, layered character.
