Introduction

Konga is a cooperative within the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia (Konga Cooperative). Coffee beans from the Konga Cooperative have been rising stars in recent years. If you search for "Konga" on the Coffee Review website, you'll find 24 entries with cupping scores above 90 points! In 2017, they achieved an impressive 94-point score. What makes Konga special is the red soil where the coffee is grown. The red soil is rich in iron content, with a thickness of 1.5 meters.

The deeper soil provides richer nutrients, and the high iron content is highly beneficial for coffee beans. Iron is a micronutrient that helps plants produce chlorophyll, which is essential for photosynthesis, allowing plants to absorb more energy and produce better fruit. The red soil is undoubtedly one of the key factors behind the delicious coffee beans produced by the Konga Cooperative.

This year's Sede processing method is quite special - it uses natural drying in the final stages, preventing the coffee from becoming too clean in flavor and adding a touch of liveliness.
