ABOUT THIS COFFEE:

Jigesa is a remote woreda in Ethiopia’s Guji region. The name Guji comes from a tribe of the Oromo people. Shakiso, the district where this coffee is produced, is located in the East Guji Zone of Oromia, about 500 kilometers south of Addis Ababa.

Producers in Jigesa intercrop their coffee with native species such as false banana trees, which help provide shade and enrich the soil. Since all coffee is delivered in cherry form, there is no pulp waste to compost on the farms. Instead, collection centers prepare and store organic compost and distribute it among producers. The coffee is fermented in cement tanks for 36 to 48 hours and then dried under plastic parabolic covers for five to seven days, depending on the weather.

Frequently Asked Questions

When Will My Order Ship?

Most orders ship the next business day from when they are placed, unless that is a holiday.

The only exception is any pre-order item, which will ship on the date stated on that item's pre-order page.

Do You Have Recommendations For Brewing?

Yes!

First, we recommend a brewing ratio of about 1:17. So whatever your dose of coffee is for a brew (we recommend weighing your coffee in grams), multiply that number by 17, and use that weight of water to brew.

Second, always try to grind your coffee fresh, directly before you brew. This will significantly impact the flavor.

Lastly, and maybe most important, always use the highest quality water you can. Filtered is always best. Coffee is 98.5% water, so the water you use makes a huge difference.

Any other questions? Just drop us a line.

Is ReAnimator Coffee Organic/Fair Trade?

While some of our coffees may happen to be certified organic or fair trade, we do not specifically look for either of these certifications when sourcing coffees, and do not market them as such.

All of our coffees are bought at fixed prices above the c-market, and 99% of the time we are paying higher prices than the Fair Trade Certified price.

Our sourcing goals are always quality and flavor focused, and we buy from producers and importers we trust to provide us with coffee that fits into our ideology.Â
