Shantawene, Ethiopia - Red Bank

A beautifully fruit-forward Ethiopian coffee with vibrant tropical flavours of mango and guava that feel like the perfect way to start these brighter days.

This lot is pulled from around 650 smallholder farmers around the village of Shantawene in Sidama ‘s Bensa woreda where Red Bank were lucky to visit last year. These farmers are represented by private exporter Tariku Coffee and grow indigenous Ethiopian heirloom varieties between 2000 and 2150MASL. Tariku manages two mills in Sidamo and West Arsi and also engages in social welfare in these communities, creating jobs, investing in schools and promoting agricultural training.

For their natural process coffee, cherries are very selectively hand-picked under strict quality control criteria and carefully handled onto raised beds to be dried.

Red Bank are a Lake District based coffee roastery who began their journey in 2015. From their unit in Kendal, Red Bank are guided by quality, traceability and sustainability, continually investing in their business to always push these principles.

Founder Tom became a certified Q-grader in 2019, they’ve got themselves a top of the range low-energy roaster, and moved to 100% LDPE coffee bags that are fully recyclable all in an effort to make a difference at every step of the supply chain.

Their coffee offering is pretty special too: with considerate sourcing and traceability as the absolute priority, and an equal focus on both expertly balanced blends and all the exciting new anaerobics that are sweeping the specialty coffee scene.
