FARM INFO
We are so excited for the return of this incredibly special coffee from a farm owned by world-renown two-time Olympic running champion Haile Gebrselassie, the holder of 27 world records.
To facilitate the production of traceable microlots, the farm is separated into 46 identifiable plots, each with specific planted varieties and processing methods. And in addition to following socially and environmentally friendly practices and meeting the requirements for Organic and Rainforest Alliance certification, Yeppo Village offers local coffee farmers training opportunities in agronomy best practices and methods for increasing cup quality.
Haile says that he extends his personal life philosophy to the coffee business: “You need three things to win,” he says. “Discipline, hard work, and commitment. No one will make it without those three.”
He also organizes the Girls Run race in Addis each year, encouraging and empowering young women through sports.

To'ak Chocolate is known for having the most expensive chocolates in the world, with some of their single bars costing up to $450! Why? The cacao is grown in Manabi, Ecuador, which is to cacao what Burgundy is to wine. Beans come from the rarest variety, pure 100% Nacional, which is over 5,300 years old. To'ak also promotes sustainability and conservation. Barefoot is proud to offer these one-of-a-kind chocolates.
Story: The weather was generous and dependable throughout the 2019 growing season. A soft touch during roasting and conching resulting in an unusually gentle dark chocolate with lovely notes of mandarine, orange blossoms, nuts, and coffee. Oh 2019, what a smooth and copacetic year you were!
Pairing Recommendations: This edition works great with a wide range of whiskies, from Scotch single malts to American bourbons. Zacapa 23 rum is amazing, as usual. Well-aged Cognac and Tequila pair very well. In the realm of cheese, opt for something creamy or nutty and not overly pungent: triple-cremes, mild brie, gouda, brebis, and Alpine-style cheeses.
