The Bensa district is situated within the renowned coffee-producing region of Sidama in Ethiopia. This area is celebrated for its high-quality coffee beans, which are sought after by specialty coffee enthusiasts worldwide. Bensa is characterized by its ideal coffee- growing conditions, including high altitudes, fertile soil, and suitable climate, all of which contribute to the exceptional flavor profile of its coffee.
In Bensa, coffee cultivation is typically done by smallholder farmers who employ traditional farming methods, hand-picking the ripe cherries during the harvest season. The coffee cherries undergo meticulous processing at the washing station, which for this natural lot includes washing and density sorting, hand sorting on the drying tables, and long hot days under the bright Ethiopian sun to reach optimal moisture readings before being dry-hulled, bagged, and transported to Addis Ababa for export milling before shipment.
In Kokose village and surrounding area, the main occupation for many residents is agriculture, particularly coffee farming, and coffee production is a significant economic activity and a primary source of income for local farmers. The region’s conducive climate, high altitude, and fertile volcanic soil make it ideal for growing high-quality coffee.
Many indigenous coffee varieties still thrive on Ethiopia’s coffee farms. Coffee is typically intercropped with maize, barley, wheat, beans, and other crops that sustain the farmers' families.
