About the Farm

Roba Boda is a highland kebele in the Uraga district of Ethiopia’s Guji Zone, sitting at 1,800–2,200 masl. The area's cool climate, fertile soil, and slow cherry maturation create ideal conditions for high-quality coffee. Kurume & Dega are heirloom cultivars grown here, producing sweet, floral, and complex cups, prized for their clarity and vibrant character.
Processing Method

Washed

Ripe cherries are hand-selected, de-pulped, and fermented for 48–72 hours.

After fermentation, the beans are thoroughly washed and dried on raised beds for 10–15 days with regular turning.

This careful, fully washed process brings out the coffee’s clarity, brightness, and refined sweetness.

When to Open & Best Enjoyed

Filter

Ready to open:
Day 5 — can be aged and remain unopened til Day 21

After opening:
Enjoy within 18 days

Why?
Freshly roasted coffee needs time to “rest.” In the first few days, it’s still releasing CO₂, which can make your cup taste sharp or gassy. Giving it a little time helps the coffee open up, bringing out more clarity, sweetness, and a cleaner finish.

(Once opened, coffee begins to age faster due to exposure to air. Enjoy within this period for the best experience.)
