Flavour Notes: This coffee has a spicy aroma, notes of raspberry, milk chocolate and black tea, and a creamy mouthfeel.
Produced by the coffee farmers of the Fero Cooperative from the Sidamo region of Ethiopia.
A portion of proceeds from this exclusive coffee goes directly to benefit Ethiopian small scale farmers.
Our philosophy of seeking the best in both coffee and people, was embodied by Olga “Polly” Robinson. She introduced her grandchildren, Jonathan and Sarah, to the wonderful world of coffee at an early age. This inspired them to start Bean There Coffee Company and share the world’s best coffee, while making a meaningful impact in the lives of the people who grow it. Through direct fair trade, we help these farmers empower their communities. In recognition of her unforgettable example, Olga’s Reserve is a carefully selected, rare, micro-lot coffee. It’s best enjoyed slowly, with a piece of chocolate, in peace and quiet, elegantly savouring every sip. Just as she did.

Fero Cooperative is located near the town of Yirgalem in Sidamo, Ethiopia and is a member of the greater Sidama Coffee Farmers’ Cooperative Union.
There are currently 5058 members of the Fero Cooperative, 903 of whom are female. The cooperative and coffee are Fairtrade Certified and Organic Certified. The word ‘Fero’ comes from the word for a strong metal and represents the producers as united and working together, forming a strong bond, and making a big difference in their community.
Bean There has been purchasing coffee from Fero since 2008 and our many visits over the years have strengthened our relationships with the community, cooperative leaders and farmers. When Bean There purchases coffee from the cooperative we pay the market price, plus a quality-related premium, the Fairtrade premium, and the Organic premium.
The members of the cooperative collectively choose how to spend the Fairtrade and Organic premiums. Over the years that Bean There has been purchasing from Fero, we have seen them establish electricity in the area, build classrooms at five district schools, build an office block for training and administration, install drinking water, and upgraded local infrastructure. Fero is a shining example of Fairtrade at work and the impact premiums can have on community development.
