Rated Q1, the highest quality for an Ethiopian speciality coffee
Sourced by our agency
Our Gimbo coffee is a forest coffee, grown in the shade of a rich environment. The ancient trees provide ideal shade for the slow ripening of the cherries. Harvested from local producers, it is then dried by Habtamu Abebe, the owner of the Matapa Michiti station. Everything possible is done at the station to ensure optimum drying of this coffee.

The farm Matapa Michiti
The Matapa Michiti farm is owned by Habtamu Abebe, who has worked in the coffee and spice trade for many years, working closely with local producers. Before it belonged to Habtamu Abebe, Matapa Michiti was known as Grawa Coffee Plantation. It was a protected biodiversity area, where Habtamu Abebe had been working since 2006. Habtamu Abebe has owned it since 2011, and produces around 800 kilos of green coffee per hectare.
Matapa Michiti represents an opportunity for more than 500 producers to sell their coffee, thanks to the farm's washing and drying station. The coffee, of varieties 74-110 and 74-112, is processed on site, either naturally or washed, and dried on the 70 drying beds at the station. Matapa Michiti employs around 180 people during the harvest period.
As well as coffee, Habtamu produces ginger on half a hectare, tea (1 hectare) and bananas. There are also 45 beehives in the coffee forest, a further element in this virtuous agroforestry system.
