We have been consistently impressed by Biya Faris' coffees over the past six harvest seasons. Biya is part of the Tokuma Group, the same producer group to which our long-time Osito producing partner Mensur Abahika belongs.
Biya's farm spans 10.5 hectares and is located in the Bashasha Kebele of Jimma. His coffees are cultivated at an impressive altitude of 2,000–2,200 masl and dried on raised beds for a period of 18–21 days.
While we have been fortunate to sample Biya's lots for some time, it was only last two years ago that we gained the purchasing power to invest meaningfully in more single producers in the west of Ethiopia.
With the growing demand that Osito has experienced in recent years, we are delighted to direct much of that demand towards the Tokuma group. This aligns with our goal of deepening our relationships with current producing partners, rather than expanding broadly.
For the third consecutive year, we have the privilege of showcasing Biya's coffee, which serves as an outstanding example of the exceptional quality found in clean naturals from this area of Ethiopia.
Once again, we are delighted to partner with Biya, who consistently delivers delicious coffees.
