Shoondhisa is a clean and beautiful natural Ethiopian that is sweet like berries, while also offering bright florals. The Dambi Uddo drying station buys cherry from roughly 100 smallholder farmers. While the norm in Latin America is for farmers to own many hectares with thousands of coffee trees, in Ethiopia, most growers are small landholders, often harvesting coffee in their gardens, alongside crops for family consumption.
