Olga's Reserve Micro-Lot: Ethiopia Sidamo Natural Coffee

R 215.00
Size: 250g
Grind: Beans

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.

Cooperative Story

Fero Cooperative is located near the town of Yirgalem in Sidamo, Ethiopia and is a member of the greater Sidama Coffee Farmers’ Cooperative Union.

The cooperative and coffee are Fairtrade Certified and Organic Certified. There are currently 3674 members of Fero. The word ‘Fero’ comes from the word for a strong metal and represents the producers united and working together, forming a strong bond, and making a big difference in their community.

Bean There Coffee Company has been purchasing coffee from Fero Coop since 2008 and have visited the community several times to meet with coop leaders and producers. When Bean There purchases coffee from Fero Coop the market price is paid, plus a quality-related premium, the Organic premium, and the Fairtrade premium.

The Ethiopia Sidamo coffee continues to be Bean There’s best seller. Fero Cooperative and Bean There Coffee Company enjoy a strong trading relationship to the point where Fero puts coffee aside specifically for Bean There ensuring there is a steady flow of top quality Ethiopia Sidamo coffee in South Africa. We look forward to many more years of trading fairly with the people of Fero.
