FARM INFO
This is a smallholder-grown coffee processed by Fahem General Trading PLC, an independent specialty exporter operating in Limu Seka, a small agricultural area at the top of the Jimma zone.
Jimma is a broad, sloping plateau of indescribable fertility and drastically high elevations. The best coffees of Jimma, from the Limu, Gera and Goma districts in particular, are known for being snappy with sweet and delicate fruit flavors. The area’s “white” honey, foraged by beads from coffee and forest blossoms, is another famous Jimma icon, and an utter sensory delight. Coffees from the zone, along with those from neighboring Illubabor, are commonly referred to as “Limu”, which is not a geographical indicator itself but more of a terroir distinction encapsulating common cup profiles from this part of the country.
Ato Mohamed Lalo is the founder of Fahem General Trading PLC and is very involved in Ethiopia’s specialty industry, along with his wife, who co-runs the couple’s private coffee estate in Limu Seka.
Fully washed coffee is produced by intaking cherry from registered smallholders daily at Fahem’s collection sites in the area. The coffee is depulped and fermented underwater for 12 hours, then soaked in fresh water for another 12 hours, and finally washed and spread across raised screen beds to dry.
Fahem consists of over 500 staff during harvest months, including all farm work, certification, training for farmers, marketing for their international sales (and local roasted brand), and apiary management. A portion of the company’s profit is annually reinvested in the local community, including schools, grain mills, pruning tools for smallholders, a local bridge, and expanding the national electric grid.

To'ak makes the world's finest and most expensive chocolates, 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.
2021 Rain Harvest 18 Hours Conch Story: Heavy rains during ripening and harvest time pushed this cacao in a fruitier direction. With this edition, To'ak chose a conching time of 18 hours, which is longer than in previous years.
Pairing Recommendations: Spirits: sweet single malts from Speyside, triple-distilled Irish whisky, well-aged bourbon, VSOP Cognac, reposado or anejo Tequila, Zacapa 21 Rum. Wines: sweet dessert wines like Port or Sauternes. Cheese: Robiola, brie, triple-cremes, and semi-soft cheeses like gouda, havarti, and fontina.
