In this post, you can find two different Aeropress recipes using our washed Ethiopia Biftu Gudina. This coffee is balanced with notes of blueberries, apple pie and milk chocolate.
Biftu Gudina is a cooperative of more than 150 coffee farmers located in the district of Agaro, Jimma. Thanks to good management and the collaboration with Technoserve, an organization that helps them install eco-friendly and modern washing stations, it has become a reference for specialty coffee in Ethiopia. With the means the cooperative has made available to them, producers have managed to multiply the quality of their coffees, thus increasing their income and improving their living conditions.
