From the roaster
250 grams of whole roasted coffee beans.
The Benti Nenka Coffee Processing Station is located in the village of Benti Nenka, within the Hambella Wamena sub-region of West Guji, Oromia. Founded in 2017, the station operates at an altitude of 2,107 meters above sea level and specialises in natural and anaerobic processing.
Benti Nenka receives cherries from around 500 smallholder farmers, each managing plots between 1.5 to 2 hectares. The area was selected for building this washing station due to its strong potential for coffee production and its central location, which makes it accessible for local farmers to deliver their cherries.
The station is surrounded by active farming communities, and its operations are supported by traditional communal labour systems known as DEBO and DADO, where farmers assist one another in turn as part of a collective work culture.
We submitted this coffee to the semi finals of Nordics Best Roaster competition '26 and we are very happy to share this very beautiful Natural coffee with you!
