Nestled high above The Great Rift Valley, Negele Gorbitu, founded in 1995, is now comprised of nearly 1,000 producers. At 1,960 meters above sea level, the small scale farmers are in a prime location to produce a classical washed Yirgacheffee with good citrus tones and the characteristic bergamot finish. The coop operates two washing stations and consistently turns out high quality coffee.
