The farmers of Koba belong to the Oromo people and speak Oromiffa. They maintain certain ancestral customs and have a quiet lifestyle built almost entirely around coffee farming. There is no direct translation from Oromiffa for the word Yabitu, giving this place and this specific offering a sense of mystique that is only capitalized by its astonishing flavor profile. Grown at 2,300 masl, this washed lot made up of Ethiopian landrace varieties is full and vibrant, incredibly juicy and packed with lots of ripe nectarine, sweet lime, and an aromatic quality similar to oolong tea.

A lan­drace is a domes­ti­cat­ed, local­ly adapt­ed, tra­di­tion­al vari­ety of a species of ani­mal or plant that has devel­oped over time, through adap­ta­tion to its nat­ur­al and cul­tur­al envi­ron­ment of agri­cul­ture and pas­toral­ism, and due to iso­la­tion from oth­er pop­u­la­tions of the species.
In cof­fee, most lan­drace vari­eties orig­i­nate from the forests of Ethiopia, where C. ara­bi­ca evolved, through a process of human-led domes­ti­ca­tion. They are gen­er­al­ly asso­ci­at­ed with very high cup qual­i­ty and low­er yields. (WCR)
