$The staff of Sibu Coffee Exporter in Ethiopia have been working extensively with Guji farmers in various capacities for over 20 years. In fact, the founders of Sibu Coffee were instrumental in establishing some of the first washing stations in the area (technically Borena Zone then) under the umbrella of the expansive Oromia Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union. To improve market access for their farmers, Sibu Coffee Exporter began operations in 2014, shipping primarily Guji coffees to importers and roasters worldwide. ⁠ ⁠ Sibu Coffee operates multiple washing stations in Guji Zone. The Kercha washing station in western Guji’s Guracho village has been a perennial favorite, with both washed and natural-process coffees routinely topping our score charts. The profiles from their Dame Dabaye Washing Station in Hambela, which we\'ve been sourcing for the past two years, have a more pineapple/grapefruit/guava tropical flair than Guracho’s limoncello and lavender. ⁠ ⁠ Sibu Coffee has been investing heavily in developing local grade schools in both Guracho and Dame Dabaye kebeles. Our purchase price for Guracho and Dame Dabaye coffees helps to fund these efforts, but much more can be done, so stay tuned for new opportunities to support development efforts in Guji Zone.⁠ ⁠ We\'re busy looking ahead to plan our Guji purchasing with our partners at Sibu Coffee. Roasters, how much Guji coffee do you estimate needing for 2021? We\'re gathering feedback through Friday. Linkin.bio for more information about Sibu\'s coffees.⁠ ⁠ Photo of the nursery at Dame Dabaye WS.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #atlas_coffee #experienceatlas #begooddogood #atlaslongdistancerelationships$
$Although we have been following their work closely for quite some time, 2020 marks just the second official year of Atlas’ relationship with APROCASSI (Asociación de Productores Cafetaleros Solidarios de San Ignacio). The association was formed nearly twenty years ago in 2000, originally to protest the mining companies who were flocking to the area to harvest precious metals. Set on protecting their farming land, a small group of farmers banded together and formed an association which they named APROCASSI.⁠ ⁠ Two decades later, with great determination and organization, APROCASSI has continued to overcome adversities while improving quality and building membership at the same time. APROCASSI is also focused on keeping youth in coffee, as well as women’s income diversification. Many chief staff is under 35 years of age, including the general manager Abdias, their logistics manager Larisa, and their internal cupping team. At the field level, APROCASSI has recently initiated a “Grupo de Jovenes” (youth group) where young coffee producers (or children of members) receive agricultural training. In 2018, the international NGO Rikolto worked closely with young producers of APROCASSI to teach them material from the CQI Level 2 processing course. They also held many cuppings in the field, so that producer could taste how fermentation and processing affect cup quality. Women producers are encouraged to diversify their income through two projects, a coffee shop and an apiary.⁠ ⁠ APROCASSI\'s Organic, Grade 1 washed coffee kicked off Peru season and is perfect as an affordable, versatile, and seasonal base for blends.

$Coffee thrives in China\'s western Yunnan, along the border with Myanmar, at elevations ranging from 900-1750 masl. The main sub-regions for coffee growing are Pu’er, Baoshan, Dehong, and Menglian. Atlas first visited China in 2014, and since then, we’ve been back numerous times to visit farms, participate in conferences and educational programs, and establish relationships with growers and exporters.⁠ ⁠ We’re thrilled to welcome the arrival of our second harvest of microlots from our friends at @yunnancoffeetraders. Although most of the microlots were presold to roasters, we have one lot of Grade 2 washed Yunnan coffee, Kaku Lot 2, remaining. With a depth of sweetness with notes of chocolate, maple, caramel, pear, and spice, with mild acidity and a medium body, this coffee makes a lovely featured Single Origin or will pair well with others for a unique blend.⁠ ⁠ Explore @yunnancoffeetraders work through the linkin.bio—photo by @yunnancoffeetraders.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #atlas_coffee #experienceatlas #begooddogood #atlaslongdistancerelationships #yunnancoffee$
$Marcelline Budza, inspired by her own mother’s resilience, established @rebuild_womens_hope (RWH) in 2013 along the shores of Idjwi, a large remote island in the middle of Lake Kivu in eastern DRC. When asked in an interview last year what she would like roasters to know about RWH, Marcelline answered, \"By buying RWH coffee, roasters are contributing to the fight against inequality and discrimination against women. We offer them a coffee of a good quality that pushes us to weave a strong bond.\"⁠ ⁠ Our third harvest of RWH coffee just landed at TGR, and it is outstanding! Scoring an 87.75 upon arrival, the washed coffee from the Boza Washing Station, pictured here, is juicy, complex, and sweet with a fruity profile of blackberry, lime, apricot, raisin, chocolate, and vanilla with a juicy berry acidity and a medium body.⁠ ⁠ Connect with us to taste RWH\'s coffee for yourself, and read @susandrinkscoffee \'s full interview with Marcelline through our linkin.bio.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #atlas_coffee #experienceatlas #begooddogood #atlaslongdistancerelationships #DRCcoffee #heartofafrica$
