Their nursery employs people with disabilities (particularly deaf people), families of people with disabilities, as well as other largely disenfranchised groups such as single mothers who struggle to find work, and especially work that accommodates childcare for working mothers in an agrarian society.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"97\" data-end=\"186\"\u003eThis lot comes from Gash Sentayehu, who farms alongside his neighbour Gash Syoum in Guji.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"188\" data-end=\"518\"\u003eThe coffee is great, but what stands out more is how they run their farms. There’s a real level of care and respect for the people working with them, something that isn’t always a given in more remote coffee growing regions where conditions can be tough. It shows in the way they work, and in the consistency of what they produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"520\" data-end=\"720\"\u003eOver the past few years, they’ve also developed their approach to processing. Starting with anaerobic methods, they’ve gradually refined and scaled it, taking full ownership of the process themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"722\" data-end=\"909\"\u003eNow they’re producing natural anaerobic lots that are clean, expressive, and getting better year on year. It’s a strong example of what happens when good process is built on solid values.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"722\" data-end=\"909\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe coffee is fermented anaerobically in sealed containers for 96hrs, then is dried on raised African-style beds. After dry milling locally to remove the hulls, there was another round of hand sorting by the milling team to remove any defects. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn old iron foundry on Wallis Road that somehow made it through the war, the wrecking balls, and everything else Hackney’s thrown at it.
