Ethiopia | Shanta Golba

Ethiopia Shanta Golba Natural is an organically produced, naturally processed coffee produced by over 1200 small-holder farmers living around the town of Daya Bensa in the Sidama region. This coffee was sourced by our partners at Unravel Coffee Merchants and Ardent Coffee export who are pillars in the community—they have built a road to aid in transportation, a local elementary school, an orphanage for children in the community, and the Shanta Golba washing station. Additionally, Ardent provides agronomy training, cherry harvesting, and healthcare for all of the workers at the washing station. Shanta Golba is truly a special place where the feelings of kindess and gratitude are visceral, and where the soil is revered for providing farmers both food and their livelihoods.
