The Story

14 Years of Partnership

14 Years with Daye Bensa From his smallholder farm in Chelba, Bensa district, Asefa cultivates organic heirloom varieties at elevations up to 2,100 MASL, producing exceptional washed coffees that consistently showcase the bright, clean profiles this renowned SNNPR region is known for. What started as a single container has grown into a six-year partnership built on trust and consistency. Each harvest season, Asefa's meticulous approach—from cherry selection to his careful 15-20-day drying process—delivers the quality our customers expect. His coffees offer complete traceability and the story behind every cup.
