Asnakech Thomas is the only female miller and exporter in the whole of Ethiopia. Owner of the Amaro Gayo Mill and 250 hectares of coffee farmland, Thomas might very well be the most inspiring figure in her community. By producing, milling and exporting the coffee herself, she can export her own coffee at will, thus keeping her high-quality coffee separate from lower quality lots. It also means she can claim the price that her special coffee deserves, 25% over Fair Trade price. This sun-dried coffee has a flavor profile reminiscent of raspberries and tamarind with a semi-sweet cocoa and honey finish, its acidity mellowed by a syrupy body. Delicious.
