Single farmer lots represent the largest percentages of the product developed at Bi-Lab and Jabanto, our coffee sourcing collaborators at origin in Ethiopia.

Promoting coffee lots under the name of a smallholder coffee farmer is at the heart of the business and development philosophies of Sample and our sourcing partners.

Out of 87 registered member farmers in the Jabanto farmers business group, those farmers who produce an outstanding coffee with superior quality and cup score are promoted as a single farmer lot.

Our sourcing partners in Ethiopia pay a higher price for a single framer lot as compared to a composite (group) lot - for example Jabanto lot.

We believe that rewarding farmers for quality is a good mechanism to create competition among farmers for quality and motivate and reward them to produce better quality coffees year after year.

The location

Coffee from Ethiopia

Seen as the birthplace of domesticated coffee, there are not many more exciting times at the Sample warehouse as when our fresh Ethiopian lots arrive. Legend says it’s our favourite origin…

Farm processes

Washed process

Machines are used to remove the flesh from the coffee cherry before being fermented in water, washed again, and finally sun dried. This process tends to result in more distinct, cleaner flavours.
