Over deze koffie
Last December, we met Tibebu on his farm near Gedeb. A most joyful man that fills his days with positivity, songs and prayers. And producing great coffee of course. Both from smallholders in the area and from his own coffee trees, where the ripest cherries are hand picked every day. We had the opportunity to try these ripe cherries, which grew in the shades of big false-banana trees. After a tour, we shared a massive cake with honey from his farm. And since we had his coffee last year as well, we were able to make him an Aeropress with his own coffee. There’s something about actually meeting the producers of the coffees we sell. It sounds silly but it feels better somehow. It’s like having a picture of the Eiffel Tower that you bought from Ikea VS one that you actually went to France for to see. Not that you should go to Paris for the Eiffel tower, better go to Motors for a coffee. Anyway, we will try and meet more producers in person because our coffees taste good because of them, and that is pretty awesome.
