Danse Mormora is located about 5 kilometers from the town of Haro Lebetu, and the farmers grow coffee in fertile clay soil at high elevation. The variety most commonly called “Bourbon” here is not the same as that type that is better-known in Central and South America: Coffees called “Bourbon” colloquially in Ethiopia are typical coffee-berry-disease-resistant cultivars.

Coffees in Ethiopia are typically grown on very small plots of land by farmers who also grow other crops. The majority of smallholders will deliver their coffee in cherry to a nearby washing station or central processing unit, where their coffee will be sorted, weighed, and paid for or given a receipt. Coffee is then processed, usually washed or natural, by the washing station and dried on raised beds.
