Humbera Manor is located in the Guji district. The rise of the Guji district can be said to be one of several important development trends in Ethiopia in recent years. Shakisso is a well-known example, but it can be said that the mode of operation of Humbera Manor is completely different. According to the experience of our actual visits, the rise of Guji District can be said to have its inherent conditions, but the journey to visit this producing area is also more difficult.

Humbera Manor, up to 2150 meters above sea level, travels through many primeval forests and a large area of land has not been developed. Even the newly developed farmland in the manor retains the primeval forest to a great extent and achieves a natural balance with the environment.

The owner of Hambela Manor, Aman, was educated in the West and had complete experience in Western enterprises. What is even more amazing is that after returning to Ethiopia, he served as the Chief operating Officer (Chief Operation Officer) of ECX before setting up his own coffee production business. Based on the principle of neutrality in official organizations, he was unable to intervene in production or business during his tenure, and finally showed his ambition after stepping down from his post. A total of two sites have been selected in Isobe, one of which is the best-selling 118 batches of slow drying on the single floor of Gedeb single Farm, and the second and most important is this Humbera estate.

Harvesting and selecting fully ripe bright red cherries is already the most basic (let us remind you that this is very difficult to achieve in Ethiopia, which is dominated by a smallholder system, and generally can only rely on hand-picked work on the scaffolding). The sun treatment here uses the most stringent and exquisite work, so the cherries on the scaffolding are only one layer thick, and the drying schedule is strictly controlled at about 18 days, so we gave him a simple name (SLD-Single Layer Drying/Slow Drying). The single-layer stack provides the most perfect convection and dry environment for coffee cherries, which is well known, but it is the most space-consuming and unfavorable mode of production. Proper slow drying can make coffee cherries develop the best water activity during the drying process, which not only develops the flavor better, but also allows the storage of raw beans in the production season to last longer, but again, this way prolongs the time required for each batch of production, using such a drying process, not only depends on the weather to eat, but also the producers are willing to put in. Not only are we fascinated by Aman's insistence on coffee quality, but even the third wave operators in Europe and the United States, such as intellectuals (Intelligentsia), Klach, Barrington and so on, are bound to choose beans every year. In March 2016, Barrington was [Sun Flavor essay]

The name Benti Nenqua comes from Oromo Language, the native language of the Oromer people (* Oromo People, see note) of the district since ancient times, which means Virgin Lion, which is now the name of a village (Kebele) in the area. In ancient times, this fertile soil was covered with a dense forest, which was the lion's habitat, hence its name. Under the name of this batch, when the editor is tested in the cup, apart from enjoying the charm in the cup, thinking about its origin, the changes of time over the ages, and the complex and ever-changing national situation in Ethiopia, compared with the recent turbulent situation in Ethiopia, it really has a sense of vicissitudes of life and a deep aftertaste.
