Mike Mamo, Telila Washing Station

Mike Mamo operates the Telila Washing Station, located in the Jimma region of Ethiopia. The coffee processed at this station is cultivated at an altitude of 2000 meters.

The varietal landscape at Telila is characterized by the use of 74110 and 74112 cultivars. These selections are consistent across the lots documented in the index.

The station maintains a portfolio that includes both washed and honey processing methods. This approach allows for the production of distinct profiles from the same regional varietals.

The catalog footprint for Telila includes two distinct lots, both of which have been featured by Kiss the Hippo Coffee. Recent catalog entries include the Ethiopia Yukro, a washed lot, and the Ethiopia Genji Challa, which utilizes a honey process.

The work at Telila is defined by its focus on specific Ethiopian heirloom selections and a dual-process approach to post-harvest treatment.
