METAD

METAD operates across several prominent coffee-producing regions in Ethiopia, including Gedeb, Gedeo, Guji, and Yirgacheffe. Their coffee production is situated at high elevations, spanning an altitude band of 1900 to 2250 meters above sea level.

The varietal landscape for METAD is characterized by the cultivation of heirloom varieties. These traditional Ethiopian cultivars are the primary focus across their production lots.

The producer maintains a portfolio centered on traditional processing methods. The catalog data shows a clear preference for washed processing, which accounts for the majority of their lots, alongside a smaller selection of natural-processed coffees.

METAD currently has 14 total coffees represented in the index, with three lots currently in stock. Their coffee is featured by three different roasters. The harvest years represented in the data include a variety of recent offerings.

Recent catalog examples include the Alaka Lavé and Alaka Nature, both processed by Alchimiste Cafés, as well as several lots from Intelligentsia Coffee, such as the Ethiopia Washed Buku, Ethiopia Metad Chelchele Washed, Ethiopia Metad Beriti Washed, and Ethiopia Metad Benti Nenqa Washed.

The work of METAD is defined by its regional diversity across Ethiopia and a consistent focus on traditional washed processing for heirloom varieties.
