Bensa Segera - Ethiopia

Bensa is a woreda (subregion) of the Sidama zone, in southern Ethiopia.  The people of the Segera kebele (village) speak various dialects of the Sidama language and continue to maintain ancient traditions.  Many of the families in the area do not have electricity or clean water, so the local rivers are their main water source.  Much of the coffee grows wild in forested areas, and thus many of the original indigenous coffee varieties are retained; the beans tend to be smaller and quite dense, boasting intense, multitudinous flavors.
