About the Coffee

Grown high in Ethiopia’s Guji Zone, this washed lot from Suke Quto Farm showcases the purity and balance that define the region’s coffees. The farm sits between 1,800 and 2,200 meters above sea level, where volcanic soil and cool mountain air create ideal growing conditions. Strict selection of ripe cherries, and intentional washed processing brings out a clean, structured profile that reflects both the land and the meticulous attention to quality at Suke Quto.

We roast this coffee to a light profile to highlight its bright citrus character while maintaining sweetness and depth. The result is a versatile cup that performs beautifully across brew methods such as pour over, auto-drip, or espresso, revealing precision, balance, and a satisfying roundness.

In the cup, expect the lively brightness of lemon meringue, followed by a warm granola-like sweetness that adds texture and comfort. The finish settles into smooth chocolate, leaving a clean and balanced impression that invites another sip.

Meet the Producer

Tesfaye Bekele

Few people have influenced Ethiopian coffee more than Tesfaye Bekele, founder of Suke Quto Farm in Guji. After wildfires devastated the region in the late 1990s, Tesfaye, then working in environmental protection, saw an opportunity to restore the forest through coffee cultivation. What began as a reforestation project grew into one of Ethiopia’s most respected farms.

Today, Suke Quto covers more than 200 hectares and works with about 170 local outgrowers who deliver cherries to the on-site washing station. The farm’s volcanic soil, high elevation, and sustainable agroforestry practices produce coffees known for their clarity and sweetness. Certified Organic and Rainforest Alliance, Suke Quto continues Tesfaye’s effort to protect Guji’s forests while providing stable, long-term livelihoods for the community.
