Organic Washed Sidama

Six Years with Melaku Negash From his smallholder farm in Chelba, Bensa district, Melaku 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, Melaku'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. For Keffa Coffee, Melaku represents more than a supplier. He's a partner in our mission to bring "Good People, Great Coffee" from Ethiopia to roasters across America. The best coffee relationships are built slowly, harvest by harvest, and our seven years together prove that quality and commitment never go out of season.
