On farms in the Lalesa area, coffee grows under the shade of massive Ensete banana trees, whose pulp is used to make the traditional dish Kocho (Kočo). The leaves, up to a meter wide and two meters long, are used for wrapping food, but most importantly, they provide excellent shade for the coffee plants. Growing in a shaded environment is ideal for coffee trees, as it enhances the quality of the coffee and positively impacts the environment.
PRODUCENT
Etiopská produkce kávy je výrazně ovlivněna třemi hlavními sezónami v zemi. Sezóna Bega (říjen-leden) je dlouhé suché období, klíčové pro sklizeň a zpracování kávy. Sezóna Belg (únor-květen) přináší první deště, nezbytné pro kvetení kávovníku a počáteční vývoj plodů. Sezóna Krempt (červen-září) je charakteristická silnými bouřemi z východu, zásadními pro pozdější fáze vývoje a zrání kávových plodů. Koncem září deště náhle ustávají, což umožňuje dozrávání kávových plodů a vede k rušnému období sklizně v listopadu.
Ephtah Specialty Coffee se zaměřuje na budování udržitelných dodavatelských řetězců a podporu žen v kávovém průmyslu. Farma Lalesa, vlastněná společností Ephtah, se rozkládá na 3,5 hektarech v nadmořské výšce 2150-2200 m n. m. a zaměstnává až 250 pracovníků během sklizně. Společnost Eptah zde vybudoval největší sušící stanici v oblasti Gedeb.
Zpracování
Kávové třešně jsou nejprve zprocesovány “floatací”. Proces floatace spočívá v ponoření kávových třešní do vody, přičemž nezralé nebo poškozené plody vyplavou na hladinu a jsou odděleny od kvalitních, které klesnou ke dnu. Poté jsou umístěny na sušící postele po dobu 12-15 dnů. Zelená zrna jsou ručně vybírána místními ženami. Po usušení a uskladnění je káva transportována do Moplaco v Gerji, Addis Abeba, a následně vlakem do Džibuti k exportu.
Společnost Ephtah realizuje několik sociálních a environmentálních projektů. Mezi ně patří například otevření denního centra pro děti farmářů v Gedebu a zapojení místních farmářek v rámci programu Ama Commitment, který podporuje ženy v tomto odvětví.
Odrůda
V oblasti se pěstují původní etiopské odrůdy (“Heirloom”), které jsou pěstovány ve stínu stromů, především Ensete (falešný banánovník). Tyto původní etiopské odrůdy jsou ceněny pro svou komplexní chuť a adaptabilitu na místní podmínky. Kávovníky rostou v nadmořské výšce 2150-2200 m n. m., což přispívá k rozvoji jedinečného chuťového profilu.
Kromě kávy farmáři také produkují Ensete, které se používá k výrobě místního pokrmu zvaného Kocho.
