Additional information
Kurume coffee is known for its excellent adaptability to harsh climatic conditions, particularly its resistance to drought and diseases. The plant has
dense foliage and produces small cherries, with high-quality, complex flavors, including notes of jasmine and citrus.
Kurume (Kudhum) is considered a “warrior” due to its resilience to climate fluctuations, droughts, and pests.
It helps protect the livelihoods of
farmers and ensures coffee production continues even in challenging conditions caused by climate change. With its adaptability and exceptional
flavor, Kurume has great potential for growth in the specialty coffee market, especially as a sustainable choice in the face of climate change.
It not only adds economic value to farmers but also preserves Ethiopia coffee heritage.
