Shakisso is in the Dewa Valley, in the south of Sidamo, itself in Southern Ethiopia. Sidamo is known for its high, forested, lush mountains and delicious coffees. The Dewa Valley is about as deep into the ancient Ethiopian mountain forests as you can go. On the perimeter of this forest, Haile Gebre runs a family farm, planted with coffee trees he and his family have cultivated from seeds gathered from the wild coffee of the forests. Shakisso Natural Sundried has a deep, resonant fruitiness, reminiscient of dried blueberries and plums. Shakisso also includes notes of dark chocolate and nuts.
