The Origin
The Mensur Abahika coffee from Pink Lane Coffee Roasters originates from the Jimma region of Ethiopia.
Mensur Abahika is the husband of Nesru Aba Nura, whose coffee we purchased last year.
He is a key component of the Tokuma Farmer Group, a collective of farmers in Western Ethiopia who have organised to market and export their coffees together and share knowledge with each other that allows them to each improve quality and consistency.
Jimma was historically known for low quality naturally processed coffees.
In 2009, Technoserve, an international non-profit that seeks to implement business solutions in areas of poverty, began working with co-ops in the area to teach them how to wash their coffees and produce speciality quality coffee.
For the past decade, the area has been known as one of the top quality-producing regions in Ethiopia though it is only recently that speciality minded producers in Jimma have sought to produce top quality naturals.
It is even more recently, with the relaxing of restrictions surrounding who can market and export their coffees directly to importers, that small to medium sized single producers have been able to market their coffees.
