In honor of Black History Month, ipsento is highlighting, Asnekech Thomas, for her work in farming, community, and coffee.

Ethiopia’s only female coffee farmer, miller and exporter, Asnakech Thomas, has made her dream come true. Her passion for great quality and responsibly produced coffee shows on her Amaro Gayo farm and she is able to contribute to the sustainable development of her home region.

Asnakech has grown coffee on her farm for about a decade. She says she’s proud of being able to live in the area where she grew up and use her land for coffee production. Asnakech lived several years in the UK where she also studied agriculture before returning to her homeland of Ethiopia.

She works with a group of around 4,000 co-operating coffee farmers from the local area whose livelihood is a matter of honour for her. She’s developed her own pricing system thanks to which farming is more profitable for the participating farmers and they are able to save some of their income in the bank accounts each of them has after Asnakech persuaded the bank to open a branch in the region.

Good quality coffee also contributes to better incomes. This means the farmers can afford to invest in their farms and develop their community.

Origin: Cooperativa El Porvenir

Discerning Cooperatives like El Porvenir cup through every turn-in, evaluating the pickings they receive from their members, rejecting those that don't pass muster and creating distinct profiles of those approved. The Ayarza Wine Series is a collection of deeply fruited, markedly winey coffees, each processed differently: Washed, honey, and naturally processed. Each of these display intense fruits, slightly fermented character reminiscent of wine, candied sweetness, and depth of body, each through their unique lens.

Cooperativa El Porvenir represents the hard work and dedication of nine producing families and twenty eight farms in the area surrounding Laguna de Ayarza, in South East Guatemala. Farming families include the Lorenzo, Zapata, Aguirre, Najera, Mendez, Sandoval, Ortega, Martinez, and Barrera families. Average growing altitude in this region is 1800 MASL, and coffees are processed at 1500 MASL. Farmers grow red and yellow Catuaí, Pache, and red and yellow Bourbon. Coffees are dried 5-6 days on the patios, then finished in guardióas. Shade trees in this area include broadleaf and conifers.

☕️ Caffè Americano ☕️ ....
A type of coffee drink prepared by diluting espresso with hot water, giving it a similar strength to, but different flavor from traditionally brewed coffee. The strength of an Americano varies by the number of expresso shots and the amount of water added. The Americano tends to stand out amongst its espresso cousins because it doesn’t have milk. While some people do add milk, you will likely never receive an Americano with any form of dairy or dairy-alternative unless you specifically ask a barista to add it.....
