Why this coffee?
We chose this coffee partly because Tesfaye, who owns the Suke Quto farm, is passionate not only about coffee but also about the local community. Together with Trabocca, they have established schools for local farmers’ children. Additionally, after devastating forest fires, he was the first to bring coffee back to the Guji region by distributing seedlings to surrounding farms. After a long, hard struggle, they again produce some of the best coffee in the region. If you prefer espresso, check out the Suke Quto espresso.

Focused on the local community

Coffee farmer builds schools

We chose this coffee not only because it’s a delightful Ethiopian coffee but also because Tesfaye, who owns the Suke Quto farm, is deeply committed to the local community and makes a huge difference by establishing schools, among other initiatives. Another thing that was evident during our visit to the farm was Tesfaye’s ongoing passion for coffee. You really feel his pride and humility when sharing a cup of coffee with him.

A characteristic coffee from the Guji region

Ethiopia Suke Quto

Our coffee from the Suke Quto farm in Ethiopia has the characteristic traits of a Guji region coffee. It’s a floral coffee with flavor notes of black tea and citrus. The aroma is predominantly marzipan and apricot, and it provides a pleasantly silky mouthfeel.

Mindful production

Certified Organic and Rain Forest Alliance

The Suke Quto farm in Ethiopia is certified both organic and Rain Forest Alliance. They focus strongly on growing their coffee with respect and devotion to the nature that surrounds them.

Economic and social growth

A true pioneer

287 small farmers deliver coffee cherries to the washing station

Today, Tesfaye works with 287 small coffee farmers who deliver cherries to Suke Quto’s washing and drying station. Besides collaborating with farmers, he owns an additional 221 hectares in the Guji highlands, and requires more than 200 seasonal workers to pick and process the coffee. This way, Tesfaye’s washing station helps secure work for many locals, ensure economic growth, and make a difference in the local community.

Tesfaye has initiated a community project aimed at renovating local schools. Together with a handful of dedicated coffee roasters, Tesfaye has built a new school building in the neighboring village of Kurume.

We believe in light roasts

The unique characteristics of the coffee are crucial for the craft

It all starts with the farmer

The final roasting and coffee brewing are crucial for the good taste. Roasting the coffee to perfection also means recognizing and appreciating the hard work of the coffee farmers! That’s why we roast our coffees gently and with a clear vision of how the coffees should taste, depending on origin and processing. We believe in the unique characteristics of coffee and work every day to bring out the coffee’s natural character. By roasting lightly, we preserve as many unique flavor nuances as possible, and many will find our coffees floral and fruity. In contrast, a darker roast often tastes more burnt. When we roast lightly, it’s also harder to “hide” flaws in the coffee, whereas a darker roast more easily masks defects if they exist in the coffee. In short, price, quality, and roast degree often go hand in hand.
