Iron Lion is our Natural community lot from Sidama Bensa in partnership with Daye Bensa. We named this lot “Iron Lion” after Bob Marley’s song.
The lyrics are directly related to Rastafarian beliefs. Zion is “the promised land”, in the song referring to Ethiopia. The lion refers to the Lion of Judah, which appeared on the old royal Ethiopian flag, representing Haile Selassie, the former Ethiopian emperor whom Rastafarians regard as their Messiah.
During his reign, he fought for Independence, progress and peace. He laid the foundation for the abolishment of late colonial slavery and for the creation of a democratic constitution. This is a purely rebel coffee!
