About this coffee

Sourced by our agency

This coffee, with its typical Yirgacheffe profile, is grown at an altitude of over 2,000 metres in the Gedeo district. It is prepared at the Garse village station by our partner DWD, a family business set up over 30 years ago.

This natural coffee is the result of the work of 110 farmers, whom DWD helps to improve the quality of their coffees year after year.

After harvesting, the cherries are dried in the shade for 3 weeks and are regularly turned over to ensure even drying, on raised beds.

A few words about DWD

Ato Dukale was born near Bensa, in the Sidama region, where his parents already had a coffee farm. Very quickly, his interest turned to coffee. He spent a long time travelling around his native region to collect his first bags from the various Sidama farmers. In the late 1980s, Ato Dukale built his first washing station in Daye Bensa, which he called "Awraja and his family." Awraja was the name of the department where he grew up. It was also Ato Dukale's nickname when he was a renowned volleyball player and travelled the country with his team, under the colours of his district: Bensa Awraja!  

Since then, his business has flourished, and Dukale Wakayo Dakola (DWD) now has 16 collection centres in the Sidama and Yirgacheffe regions. It has been taken over by Ato Dukale's sons, Assafa, Shahsamo and Yamrot, who, along with their father, put all their energy into producing quality coffees.
