The farm's volcanic soil, which Tesfaye keeps healthy by organically recycling the litterfall which supports a verdant coffee producing ecosystem. The farm employs more than 200 seasonal workers who pick and process the coffee cherries. Tesfaye works together with 171 coffee producers who deliver their cherries to the Suke Quto Washing and Drying Station. All Suke Quto coffees are certified Organic and Rainforest Alliance.
This coffee represents Tesfaye's most prized coffee. He ensures the coffee is picked at peak harvest when they're at optimal ripeness - delivering unparalleled sweetness and his distinguished profile, reflective of Suke Quto's terroir. Its been more than 20 years since our supply chain partner, Trabocca, began working withTesfaye and other local farmers - implementing a purchasing model that rewarded coffee produces with higher prices based on their quality in the cup and dedication to best practices related to farm management systems. The result of this collaboration has yielded coffees with exceptional profiles, better prices paid to producers, and durable relationships that persist season over season. This coffee that we offer to you is emblematic of all the work performed over time, and the results are clear as day in the final cup; one bursting with complex tropical fruit flavor and intensely floral aromatics.
