About Hambella Natural | Guatemala
Hambella was founded by brothers Aman and Michael Adinew — Aman previously ran quality control at the Ethiopia Commodity Exchange and set up the country's first speciality coffee lab, so this farm was always going to be about doing things properly. It's a big operation for the Guji zone, 200 hectares with a core team of 28 that swells to over 700 come harvest, 70% of them women, and there's a real effort to bring smallholders in the area up to speed too, working alongside agronomists to improve their own coffee.

This natural lot is processed just over the border in Gedeb, Gedeo zone, dried slowly on raised beds for 21 days and turned by hand throughout, which is where all that jammy sweetness and fruit character comes from. Grown between 1900–2200m from a mix of Dega, Kudhume and Wolisho varietals, and scoring an impressive 87 points!

Tasting notes are complex and include blueberry, bergamot and a milk chocolate like body.

The Producer

Hambella

Hambella's coffee is processed at a facility in Gedeb, in the Gedeo zone, just across the district border from where it's grown in Guji. It's not a typical smallholder washing station — the farm itself runs the operation, employing 28 staff full-time and swelling to over 700 during harvest, 70% of them women.

Processing Method

Natural

The natural process is the most traditional method, where whole cherries are dried intact in the sun. As the fruit dries around the bean, it imparts a heavy body and intense fruit flavours. When well-executed, it produces a sweet and fruity coffee.

Coffee Varietal

Mixed Varietals

This coffee may include several different coffee varietals. On many farms, multiple cultivars are grown side-by-side and harvested together. In other cases, a coffee may be composed of several components selected to create a balanced flavour profile. Each varietal contributes its own characteristics to the final cup.
