Mengeche Derso

Mengeche Derso sources coffee from the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia, operating at a high elevation band of 2300 meters above sea level. This high altitude setting provides a specific growing environment for the coffee trees cultivated in the area. The varietal landscape in the catalog consists entirely of traditional heirloom cultivars. These regional varieties form the foundation of the offerings associated with this producer. The processing profile recorded in the catalog focuses exclusively on the natural method. Both lots captured in the data undergo this traditional preparation style without variation into washed or experimental techniques. The catalog footprint includes two coffees featured across two different roasters, namely Stereoscope Coffee and LAMILL Coffee. The harvest data encompasses representation from recent offerings, yielding an average Cherrybook Index across their lots of 61.1. Recent catalog examples illustrate this consistency, featuring the Ethiopia Mengeche Derso prepared as a natural heirloom by Stereoscope Coffee, alongside the Mengeche Derso - Ethiopia prepared in the same style by LAMILL Coffee. Overall, the work of Mengeche Derso within the catalog is defined by a focused approach centered on high-altitude Yirgacheffe terroir, traditional heirloom varietals, and natural processing methods.
