Amederaro Konga Yirgacheffe G1
Amederaro is a name for the registered coffee produced by members of the Konga village. Coffee is a family crop – grown by households within small gardens in this area. Producers line their homes with coffee trees, and it is the primary source of income. It is common for producers to intercrop enset, the Ethiopian banana, in addition to avocados and papayas, to provide another source of food supply for the household.

Ethiopia, widely acknowledged as the birthplace of coffee (to the chagrin of Yemen and Sudan, who have also laid claim), produces some of the most exceptional and dramatic coffees found anywhere in the world. From the bright bergamot and floral Yirgacheffe to the ripe fruit notes of Harrar, the unique flavours offered by this spectacular country have, over the last 10 years, become some of the most sought after in specialty coffee.
