About
Profile
We have had coffee from Tesfaye Bekele’s farm, Suke Quto, for almost ten years now, and in that time, it has not only become a linchpin on our counter, it also is the core coffee of our Organic Espresso, providing the high notes and fruity finish of its flavour profile. We had the pleasure of hosting Tesfaye and Genet Shribu at our roastery in April 2024 and were captivated by the story of Suke Quto and the Tesfaye’s extraordinary vision. Tesfaye trained in Natural Resource Management (Forestry) for the Ethiopian Government and would consider himself an environmentalist first and foremost. One of his ways of contributing to the local ecosystem is by growing coffee using organic methods and supporting a shade-tree forest structure on the farm. In his own words, ‘I am not born for coffee; I am born for nature. If I have nature, I have coffee’.
