Panther Coffee - Ethiopia Suke Quto
Light and refreshing. Notes of pineapple, mango, blueberries, champagne grape, malted milk & cocoa powder.
This impeccable Suke Quto microlot grows in the Guji Zone, the Southern part of the Oromia Region that borders the Sidama and Gedeo Zones. The volcanic soil on the farm is highly nutrient. Generally, the soil is fertile, friable, and loamy with the depth of at least 2 meter. One outstanding characteristic of the soil is that its fertility is maintained by organic recycling through litter fall, root residue from perennial coffee and shade trees.
For processing the coffee they use an Agared machine to pulp the coffee without removing the mucilage. Then they ferment the coffee in tanks between 35-48 hours, depending on the climate. There are 3 treatment tanks for the waste water. Coffee in parchment is dried on elevated beds between 9 and 15 days.
The Suke Quto farm also has a nursery with coffee seedlings to provide the farm but also the outgrowers in the area. There are 9 permanent employees and about 250 seasonal workers. Suke Quto also buys from about 70 outgrowers. Each of them has about 7ha of coffee trees planted. Other crops that they grow are false banana and fruits.
