If you've loved the Guji Dasaya Lot 21/02 we had recently, you might want to try the Somboo Selection!

Dasaya is a short form of Dawala Samayawi, which literally mean purple bellflowers. The Dasaya aims to remind drinkers of purplish or bluish fruit such as grapes and blueberry, as well as purplish florals.

To fulfil the Dasaya’s quality requirement, this batch of Dasaya is sourced from an extremely high altitude of 1900-2100m. The raw coffee itself has a very low defect rates, and the roasted version promises excellent purplish aroma and notes. 

On the Naming of the Coffee

At The Crackpots, we always try to help beginners and advanced drinkers alike to understand more about coffees. One of our efforts is to explain the various cryptic names of coffees which could be confusing.

Here’s a breakdown of this coffee:

Ethiopia	Ethiopia, officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, is a country in the Horn of Africa. Ethiopia is said to be where all coffees come from, and coffee production in Ethiopia is a longstanding tradition which dates back dozens of centuries.
Guji	Guji is a zone in Oromia Region of Ethiopia, named after a tribe of the Oromo people.
Dasaya	Explained above, a short form of Dawala Samayawi.
Somboo Selection	Somboo means "Pearl" in the Amharic language, small but precious. The Somboo Selection is a special batch of Dasaya where the bean size is extremely small yet containing potent flavours.
