Gera Seriti coffee is produced in the highlands of l'ast Ethiopia, in the Gera region, within the l'immu appellation, the historic birthplace of Arabica coffee. Grown in the s'hade at over 2,100 metres a'bove sea level, the coffee trees are grown from heirloom varieties endemic to the Choke forest, ensuring a'unique aromatic profile. Mustafa Mohamed Ali, a coffee producer since the 1980s and a Belco partner since 2016, has his own washing and raised-bed drying facilities, allowing him to control every stage of production, from hand-picking to the washed method. The Seriti station follows strict organic practices and supports local seasonal employment, perpetuating precise and committed Ethiopian coffee expertise.

Here are the recommended ratios for an optimal tasting experience with your machine:
- Espresso: fine grind, between 16g and 19g of coffee for a double espresso (60-80ml in a cup). Extraction 25–30 seconds.
- Slow methods: 60g of coffee per 1L, or 15g per 250ml.

What is specialty coffee?

Full traceability from the coffee cherry (coffee tree/variety, altitude, exact origin of the producer and region, post-harvest processing method) to the cup,
Flavor quality (according to the SCA cupping protocol),
Gentle, expertly controlled roasting,
Remuneration for producers above market prices.

Are your coffees certified organic?

Yes, some of our specialty coffees are certified organic, guaranteeing coffee beans grown without pesticides or chemicals. Even though we do not have the organic logo, most of our producers do not use pesticides.
