Yabitu Koba comes from Guji's Uraga district in Oromia, the largest region of Ethiopia. Guji is one of the oldest coffee growing areas in Ethiopia.
The soil in the community is highly fertile, with great water retention and drainage, making coffee growing self-sufficient when planted properly, ultimately not required fertilizers to produce incredible quality.
The farmers of Koba belong to the Oromo people and speak Oromiffa. They maintain a quiet lifestyle centered almost entirely around coffee farming. Because farms and homes are so remote, many children don't begin attending school until they are 9 years old, due to the distance needed to travel in order to get there. The ensuing education gap has a result of a majority of young people dedicating themselves to agriculture.
Despite the difficulties of life in Koba, the producers are recognized worldwide for their dedication, ancestral coffee wisdom, and phenomenal coffee quality.
In the cup, we're tasting notes of rainier cherry, melon, and green tea. It's light, refreshing, and dynamic.
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.

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.
