Ethiopia is the spiritual home of modern coffee and always a favourite with Climpsons and our customers. As our Signature Espresso we are highlighting the classic Ethiopian attributes of bright citrus and creamy milk chocolate. This year's featured Estate is the Fero Washing Station, owned and managed by specialty exporters, Ranger Coffee.

As a vertically integrated operation the Ranger team are providing hands-on training to all coffee growers they work with and are able to precisely manage their processing and quality at hugely impressive scale. Quality coffee has acted as the stepping stone for wider improvements in the community with remote regions now receiving deserved infrastructure & education funding, along with improving incomes.

The Fero washing station is located in Southern Ethiopia’s infamous Sidamo region and serves more than 700 local coffee growers. With most contributing members producing coffee on 2 hectares or less, the scale of their output is truly a collaborative effort. Here coffee is grown amongst the sustenance crop Enset with farmers hand-picking before delivering their cherries to the washing station for sorting and processing. The classic Ethiopian washed process uses clean water to separate any less ripe coffee and the resulting fermentation translates to a crisp, clean and quintessential Sidamo flavour profile.
