Nekisse - formerly Beloya - was the first coffee
Ninety Plus developed in Ethiopia, and in 2007, it
was the first coffee to score 97 points on Coffee
Review.
Ninety Plus Founder, Joseph Brodsky, moved to
Ethiopia in 2006 to start Ninety Plus. He lived full-
time in Ethiopia for 2 years, fermenting and drying
coffees with his own hands and intuition. These
tiny batches
(the Aricha and Beloya Micro Selections) were first taken on a tour to specialty
roasters in the Nordic countries who hadn't tasted
natural processed coffees of this level prior. They
quickly became the choice of national barista
champions who featured them on the World
Barista Competition stage in Copenhagen in 2008.
These coffees were the first single-origin, natural
process coffees to be presented in the World
Barista Championships and were the precursors
of the current Panama Nekisse.
