Strawberry Kiss

A beloved staple in our lineup year after year, Strawberry Kiss returns, a natural Ethiopian lot from the Rumu Damo washing station. This year’s harvest has delicate sweetness and layered fruit character. Expect notes of strawberry, star fruit, and apricot, making every sip bright, juicy, and refreshingly playful.

Located amongst the highest elevation when compared to other coffee-growing areas, Rumudamo has a story of excellence, having placed 2nd and 3rd in the 2020 Cup of Excellence of Ethiopia. Established in 1996 as producers, Daye Bensa has lived through all the turmoils that coffee growing and exporting entails in the region. Nowadays, they are a reference of excellence and resilience in Ethiopia and work with various communities of out-growers from whom they receive cherries. They work with multiple washing stations in the Bensa, Sidama area, including some of which they own.
