Etiopía Kenisa

Highlights

“Kenisa (the word means bee in Oromo, a nod to the honey the district also produces) is a washing station and cooperative founded in 2019 in the Jimma highlands, with 305 members - 119 of them women - and the newest addition to the Kata Maduga Union that also manages Duromina and Nano Challa. A Penagos 2500 depulper cut its water use, which matters as Ethiopian dry spells lengthen. Animal buys from cooperatives rather than private stations to keep intermediaries out of the chain. The Metu Bishari selection is washed at 1,900 to 2,098 m and scored 87 points; orange zest, mango, honey and cinnamon, roasted for filter.”
