Black Label Coffee

STORY TIME ☕

Aramo is a historic cooperative established in 1968 within Ethiopia’s Gedeo zone. Part of the Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (YCFCU), Aramo consists of nearly 1,600 smallholder organic farmers who manage 1,300 hectares of land.

The region’s "Yirgacheffe" terroir is a global benchmark for complexity. While washed coffees are jasmine-like, Aramo’s Grade 3 naturals are soft, creamy, and jammy with floral hints. These naturals undergo rigorous sorting and a three-week sun-drying process on raised tables, where they are constantly rotated and hand-sorted for quality.

The YCFCU represents over 45,000 members across 28 cooperatives. Each cooperative elects an executive committee to manage investments, social services, and infrastructure, while union-appointed managers oversee processing standards to ensure consistent quality
