This washed lot comes from the prized growing region of Jimma, in Western Ethiopia. We've always loved the coffees from Agaro for their pleasant floral and stonefruit notes with impressive balance and big sweetness. Nano Challa is one of the best known cooperatives in Jimma, and has been so successful in their quality and growth that they've opened a new washing station called Nano Genji, which will support these growers well into the future.

Fresh off the grind the aromatics are sweet and floral. A lovely ripe white peach predominates from hot to cold and is joined by a honeyed sweetness and soft lime-like acidity.  If you love washed coffees from Ethiopia, this is the time of year to dive deep - starting with Nano Challa, with plenty more stellar lots to come!

1Spot purchase

“Spot” is coffee in an importer’s inventory they have not sold. When we need to fill gaps in our contractual and relationship purchases, we buy spot. Of course, we are always open to spot becoming relationship purchases, and sometimes they do.

2Contract purchase

Most of our purchases are contractual, meaning we have made a commitment to purchase the coffee before it arrives in the US. In general contracts are meant to build security for the producer and importer, and to help us make sure we have the coffee we need to share with you.

3Repeat purchase

We are proud of the fact that many of the coffees we purchase are repeat purchases, and have been for years. Most producers, especially from Central and South America, can count on us purchasing their coffee year after year.

4Visits

We’ve met, and have an ongoing relationship with the producer. At a minimum, they have visited us at Sweet Bloom, or we have visited them on the farm. As the relationship deepens, we build our understanding of:

1) challenges faced from one year to the next
2) sustainability practices on the farm
3) how the farmer is caring for their staff
4) ways in which we can support projects the farmers have implemented on the farm and in the community
