Why Choose Ethiopia Kokeb Siwani, Crop 23/24?
This natural Ethiopian coffee is an exquisite representation of its origin, offering vibrant florals, juicy stone fruit sweetness, and a refined tea-like elegance. Its clean and well-balanced cup makes it an ideal choice for both espresso and filter brewing, ensuring a versatile and memorable coffee experience.
THEย STORY BEHIND
We are delighted and proud to present you our new exquisite and unique signature lot - Kokeb Siwani, that will be, together with the Mzungu Project, the recurring feature of our offering.
Kokeb Siwani is Amharic for Stellar Swan. This name has been chosen by Rubens to reflect the two key features of this lot. First such feature is the origin - Ethiopia, the birthplace of Coffea arabica and, to this day, the home to some of the most outstanding coffee lots in the world. โStellarโ is the homage both to the star on Ethiopian national flag and a fitting description of many Ethiopian coffees. The swan is the symbol of Gardelli Specialty Coffees, the guarantee of quality and care and the expression of elegance we seek to bring in each cup.
Our aim with Kokeb Siwani is to bring to you the signature flavour profile of a classic natural Ethiopian coffee, with its fruity sweetness, crisp acidity, elegant flavours, and a clean finish. Over the years, natural Ethiopian lots from various producers have been a cornerstone of GSC's offerings. However, Rubens has noticed that finding lots of exceptional quality, processed using the classic natural method, has become increasingly challenging. As a result, he has made it his mission to seek out and deliver to you the best such lots he can find through collaboration with trusted producers and exporters, while also providing the comfort of a familiar, cherished taste, no matter what it takes.
The main reasons for the difficulty Rubens has encountered in sourcing classic dry-processed lots from Ethiopia are not related to natural causes - rather, they are to be sought in the trends in the specialty coffee market. Namely, anaerobic processing has been increasingly popular in the recent years. We surely love a cup of quality anaerobic, enjoyable in its extravagance. At the same time, Rubens believes this processing method has a downside of rendering a fairly standardised cup profile that obscures the origin of the beans, the varietal and terroir. In a quest to recover the appreciation for unique terroirs and for the age-old tradition of natural processing, we introduce this Signature Lot.
This yearโs lot comes fromย Worka Wuri wetmill in Yirgacheffe. The mill processes cherries from around 650 local smallholder farmers who cultivate at elevations up to 2,100 masl. Worka Wuri has established itself a reputation for excellence, consistently producing some of the highest scoring Ethiopian coffees each season.
Worka Wuri washing station is located near the town of Gedeb, Gedeo zone, in Southern Ethiopia.
Over a number of years the region has developed a distinguised reputation for fine coffees, producing some of the most sought-after microlots in the world. The combination of high altitude, fertile soil, consistent and plentiful rains, and an abundance of local knowledge are all contributing factors to the high status of Yirgacheffe coffees.
THEย VARIETY
Ethiopian heirlooms, why the generic name? It's estimated that there are somewhere in-between six and ten thousand coffee varietals in Ethiopia. And due to this colossal figure, there hasnโt been the genetic testing to allow buyers to distinguish the varietal. With the cross pollination that naturally happens in the wild, the name "Ethiopian Heirloom" exists as a catch-all phrase to describe this happenstance. However, that really makes Ethiopian quite a mystery and an interesting mystery as each village or town could potentially have a different varietal which could carry very unique properties.
The local indigenous โheir-loomโ varietals - which grow wild in Ethiopia - are responsible for the unique flavour notes which make for an unusual but refined cup. When processed naturally through sun-drying these present with juicy and jammy stone-fruit flavours, floral and chocolate notes with a creamy body.
THE FERMENTATION PROCESS
Shade grown, ripe cherries are delivered to the mill for careful sorting, where only the ripest cherries are selected.
The cherries are dried in the sun on raised African beds for approximately 12-15 days. In the daytime they are raked and turned periodically to ensure a consistent drying process. During the day, the cherries are covered between 12pm and 3pm to protect them from sun damage and at night โ from rainfall and moisture.
Once the coffee has dried to the right level, it is milled, graded, sorted and thoroughly handpicked, before being bagged in GrainPro for export from the port of Djibouti.

The combination of blackberry, peach, and jasmine creates a dynamic and refined experience, while the honey sweetness rounds out the flavors, making it perfect for both filter brewing and espresso.
THEย STORY BEHIND
The Gikomero Washing Station was established in 2010 and became part of RTCโs supply chain (Rwanda Trading Company) in 2011
Located at an altitude of approximately 1600 masl, the washing station was purchased by RTC in 2012. As part of its efforts to support farmers in the rural areas of Kigali, RTC provides growers at Gikomero with direct access to a comprehensive agronomy training programme, which, in addition to good agricultural practices, includes financial literacy and record-keeping training.ย
Moreover, farmer groups are granted direct access to financing for agricultural inputs, school fee loans, and other incentives, fostering successful farming businesses and improving family well-being. Over the past three years, the washing station has distributed more than 200,000 coffee seedlings to local farmers, contributing to the rejuvenation of the supply chain. As these newly planted trees start producing, Gikomero expects an increase in coffee production in the coming years.
THEย VARIETY
RED BOURBON
Red Bourbon is a variety native to East Africa, specifically to Ethiopia. It gets its name from the Bourbon island, now known as Rรฉunion, where it was subsequently cultivated. However, its genetic origin can be traced back to Ethiopian coffee varieties. From Rรฉunion, it was exported to other regions worldwide, including Latin America and other coffee-producing areas.
The name "Red Bourbon" originates from the bright red colour of the cherries, which sets it apart from other varieties. Its flavour profile is characterised by a harmonious combination of fruity notes, often reminiscent of berries, and a delicate floral aroma. It is also known for its bright acidity.
Typically cultivated at elevations ranging from 1,100 to 2,000 masl, this variety thrives in high-altitude regions where it develops its distinctive flavours.
THE FERMENTATION PROCESS
The harvested coffee is delivered to the station, where the cherries undergo a floating process to remove less dense fruits. They are then pulped using a three-disc Pinhalense pulper, before undergoing dry fermentation in tiled tanks overnight.
Following this stage, the coffee passes through grading channels, where it is thoroughly washed before being transferred to raised beds for the drying process, which lasts between 11 and 14 days.
The result is a coffee of exceptional quality, produced from the Red Bourbon variety, cultivated with great care and processed using methods that prioritise both quality and sustainability.

Whether you prefer the clarity of a V60 pour-over or the balanced extraction of a flat-bed brewer, Los Angeles offers an immersive tasting experience that reflects the dedication of the smallholder farmers who meticulously cultivate each bean.
THE STORY BEHIND
Finca Los Angeles is a stunning farm planted exclusively with Pacamara, a variety celebrated for its complex and intense aromas. Located in the Ahuachapรกn mountain range in western El Salvador, this farm is part of the Fincas Los Naranjos group, led by Sigfredo Corado, a retired professor of agronomy.
The farm is managed through exceptional agronomic practices, including regulated shade from native species, soil enrichment through organic matter, and a strict no-herbicide policy, all of which contribute to a sustainable and balanced ecosystem.
Finca Los Angeles also participates in the Renacer Programme ("Reborn" in Spanish), which educates local producers about improving farm management practices through three annual modules focusing on the "4 R's": Right Source, Right Dose, Right Place, and Right Moment. These initiatives ensure both the environmental sustainability of the farm and its high productivity.ย
THEย VARIETY
Pacamara is a hybrid created at the end of the 1950s in El Salvador by the Institute for Coffee Research (ISIC).
Created by crossing the Pacas variety (an El Salvadoran mutation of Bourbon) with Maragogype, it gets its name from the first four letters of each of its parents. Naturally, it possesses traits from both parents. Its relatively short stature and high productivity are inherited from the Pacas variety, and, like the Maragogype, Pacamara is known for its large cherries.
Pacamara tends to be more productive than the Maragogype and it is known to produce a pleasant cup. However, the variety is highly susceptible to coffee leaf rust.
The variety is not homogeneous, plants are not stable from one generation to another.
THE FERMENTATION PROCESS
The natural process is carefully defined based on the maturity classification and variety of the coffee cherries, ensuring optimal cup quality. Client preferences also influence the process, and only cherries classified as Category "A" with a Brix level above 19 are selected.
The process begins with flotation, where empty or overripe cherries are removed to prevent unwanted fermentation and off-flavours. The selected cherries are then placed in metallic hoppers, transferred to metallic carts, and taken to patios for pre-drying, where they are constantly moved for five days to avoid damage.
After this initial phase, the coffee is transferred to African beds in a two-level drying system. First, the cherries are placed in polypropylene sacks, weighed, and moved to the lower level of the drying beds for three to five days, reducing humidity to 20%.
Then, they are transferred to the upper level for eight to ten days, depending on sunlight, until they reach a final humidity of 10%.
Once dried, the coffee is stored in polypropylene sacks with GrainPro liners to prevent moisture reabsorption and preserve quality.
The following day, a 300g sample is taken from each sack for quality analysis before stacking the coffee by farm, variety, and process. Finally, the sacks are sealed, stacked on wooden pallets, covered with hessian sacks, and stored with dehumidifiers to maintain ideal conditions and prevent cup defects.

Whether you prefer the clarity of a V60 pour-over or the balanced extraction of a flat-bed brewer, Konga Amederaro offers an immersive tasting experience that reflects the dedication of the smallholder farmers who meticulously cultivate each bean.
THE STORY BEHIND
Konga Amederaro is a processing station in Konga village, Yirgacheffe, at 2,000 masl. Supported by the Toracho River, it works with 1,890 local farmers to produce high-quality coffee. The stationโs strict quality standards have earned it recognition in the industry, including 7th place in the inaugural Ethiopia Cup of Excellence and spots on the final table of the Taste of Harvest competition in 2018 and 2019.
Coffee is grown by smallholder farmers on small plots surrounding their homes, called "garden coffee." These farmers cultivate Jarc, an Ethiopian heirloom sub-variety, alongside crops like enset (Ethiopian banana), avocados, and papayas for additional food sources. Compost is used to maintain soil fertility, and farming practices are organic, though often uncertified due to high certification costs. Farmers rely on natural pest control methods due to limited access to chemical inputs.
Shade trees are planted to create a suitable microclimate for coffee growth and support the ecosystem. Pruning, including topping and removing lower branches, is used to improve cherry production and tree health.
Konga Amederaro also adopts experimental processing methods like the "Supernatural" technique. This method enhances the traditional sun-drying process by adding controlled aerobic fermentation during drying, highlighting the regionโs capability for producing exceptional specialty coffee.
THEย VARIETY
The Ethiopian Heirloom coffee variety stands as one of the most precious gems in the world of coffee. Cultivated in the high altitudes of the mountainous regions of Ethiopia, this variety is a true treasure of complex and deep aromas.
What makes the Ethiopian Heirloom variety unique is its wild and non-hybrid nature. These coffees are grown by local farmers using traditional practices, inherited from past generations. The absence of artificial hybridization means that each plant is a blend of indigenous varieties, giving the coffee an extraordinary genetic diversity.
The terroir of Ethiopia, with its volcanic soil and ideal climate, significantly contributes to the aromatic complexity of these coffee beans and accounts for the unique flavour notes, resulting in an unusual and refined cup.
Fruity, floral, and spicy notes emerge in every cup, offering a unique sensory experience. Ethiopian Heirloom coffees are known for their bright and lively acidity, balanced by a silky body. Ethiopia is often considered the birthplace of coffee, and the Heirloom variety represents a return to the roots of this precious beverage. Traditional cultivation, unique genetic variety, and a perfect combination of environmental factors give this coffee a distinctive character that enchants coffee lovers around the world.
THE FERMENTATION PROCESS
In traditional Ethiopian special natural processing, coffee cherries are spread in a thin layer on raised beds and dried under direct or indirect sunlight. In the "Supernatural" method, cherries are instead placed in thick layers on racks within semi-permeable boxes. This setup limits sunlight exposure while allowing controlled airflow and oxygenation, extending the drying period and enhancing natural sugar fermentation within the cherries.
To ensure consistency and prevent issues like over-fermentation or mold, the process requires close monitoring. Temperature, Brix levels, and moisture content are regularly measured, and adjustments to airflow and ambient temperature are made as needed.
When the cherries reach the ideal moisture content of approximately 12.5%, they are rested in a cool environment before secondary processing. This includes hulling, grading, sorting, handpicking, and packing in GrainPro bags for export.
