Odaco

“Odaco” refers to a significant tree in the Shantawene village, under which the local community gathers to resolve conflicts — a long-standing tradition that symbolises unity and wisdom across generations. The cherries for this lot are sourced from 563 Daye Bensa member farmers across the Shantawene area as well as Gatta farm which lies in the heart of Shantawene Village. The extended maturation period at this altitude allows for slow cherry development, producing dense, flavour-rich beans. After careful handpicking, cherries are dried naturally on raised beds for 14–18 days under carefully controlled conditions. The result is a beautifully clean and complex coffee reflecting both the unique terroir of Shantawene area and the dedication of the farming community.
