Demicha - Natural Ethiopia
Tasting Notes: Blueberry, Orange, Jasmine
Demicha is a village located in the Harsu Haro Muda Kebele. Demicha means honey. The nearest town to this village is Harsu. Similar to the neighboring village of Muda Tatesa, coffee cultivation is new here. The farmers of this village also produce legumes, oats, and barley, but have also introduced maize and intercrop false banana with the newly planted coffee. Due to the village's high altitude and favorable climate, it is an area promising for coffee production.
Coffees in Ethiopia are typically grown on very small plots of land by farmers who also grow other crops. The majority of smallholders will deliver their coffee in cherry to a nearby washing station or central processing unit, where their coffee will be sorted, weighed, and paid for or given a receipt. Coffee is then processed, usually washed or natural, by the washing station and dried on raised beds.

Sourced & Roasted With Intention
We individually profile and roast each coffee to their specific sweet-spot
Sourcing & Selection
Vesta direct sources 90% of our coffees directly from farmers and coops at origin. And uses trusted export partners for the remaining coffees.
All coffees are selected based on taste profiles. We believe that origin, processing and terroir all play a part to make each coffee unique.
Maintaining Relationships
You will notice that many of our coffees are available for multiple years. We are proud (and thankful) to be able to work with many of the same farmers year-after-year. Many times purchasing the farmers entire harvest. Helping the producer have some economic stability, and helping us with a consistent product year after year.
