We’re honoured to be roasting this outstanding coffee, from a steward of the land and fantastic producer; Tesfaye Bekele. He really is one of the people who put Guji coffee on the map. Plus, it’s exceptionally tasty - one of our all time faves.

Tesfaye Bekele started Suke Quto after bushfires destroyed most of the native forest in the area. He wanted to find a crop that would provide income for the community, but also help reestablish the natural environment after the forest was lost. He pitched his idea to the locals and distributed coffee seedlings, inspiring many of the Guji coffee growers today. His farm is a semi-forest farm, where a combination of native and shade trees provide cover for the coffee plants. For fertilization, Tesfaye allows the natural mulch from fallen leaves and clippings from weeding around the coffee trees to add nutrients back to the soil - it is both Organic and Rainforest Alliance certified.

Great coffee with provenance you can think of and be proud when you drink it. Roasted in our barn in Cornwall's rural wilds.
