Nestled in the highlands of Sidama at elevations ranging from 2100 to 2200 meters, the Faficho Bombe site is home to exceptional coffees known as Natural, Red Honey, and White Honey Faficho Bombe. This coffee originates from the Bombe kebele in the Faficho town, within the Bensa district of West Sidama zone.
The farm and washing station are owned and managed by Basha Bekele, a dedicated producer who operates a 2.5-hectare farm and a 1.5-hectare processing site. Around 500 local farmers—primarily of the Sidama region—deliver their cherries to the station each year, contributing to an annual production of 500 bags. The area's rich clay soil, combined with traditional farming knowledge and the high-altitude climate, creates ideal conditions for growing high-quality coffee.

Farmer // Sebastian Ramirez
Varietal // Caturra
Elevation // 1750-2000 masl
Process // Pink Fruit Co-Fermented Honey
Size // 175g
The Ramìrez family has been growing coffee for over 100 years, or since Sebastian's grandfather, Ernesto Ramìrez Valencia started planting the first coffea arabica shrubs of Typica and Bourbon on their family land. The land is managed by the father son duo Sebastian and his father Ernesto. In this region of the Colombia coffee grows all year round and is harvested weekly with production peaks from April to June and from September to December.
Sebastian utilizes his deep knowledge of coffee processing and access to a well-equipped microbiological laboratory to gather a deeper knowledge of what is scientifically occurring during processing and fermentation on a molecular level with his coffees. This is a critical step for Sebastian and the El Placer team to develop innovative coffees and exotic profiles that are some of the most revered and methodically executed experimentally processed coffees in the entire industry.

Varietal // Papayo C-19
Elevation // 1900-2100 masl
Process // Thermal Shock Washed
Size // 125 g
Paraíso 92 is a family farm that uses highly innovative farming systems such as terraces, drip irrigation, shading and laboratory nutrition count aimed to produce a unique coffee. Paraiso 92 has a processing plant, microbiology lab and quality lab.
The processes applied to all the coffees start with a careful and strict selection, sterilization and coffee cherry profiling. Subsequently, the first controlled anaerobic fermentation phase initiates, by adding a specific microorganism for each process. Later on, the coffee is pulped and then subject to a second fermentation phase. When the second fermentation phase is done, a thermal shock process is carried out through hot and cold-water shots in an effort to improve and boost the organoleptic characteristics of the coffee.
