Our 2025 visit showed us firsthand this incredible farm. We hiked through old growth trees with lush coffee trees thriving underneath the shade cover. Spectacular!

Single Origin Notes
This delicious single origin coffee is sourced from Suke Quto in the lush highlands and valleys of Ethiopia’s Guji zone. The volcanic soil is loamy and rich in nutrients, ideal for cultivating exceptional coffee. The land features a variety of shade trees that offer coverage from the sun and leaf litter that naturally fertilizes the coffee trees below.
Jim visited the farm in 2025 and got to spend time with Organic Farmer Tesfaye Bekele, the founder of Suke Quto farm and a pioneer in Guji coffee. He started the farm after a series of bushel fires destroyed the land. Today, not only does he grow and process his own coffee but works together with over 100 growers in the region. Many farms in the Guji zone are now based off Tesfaye’s groundbreaking farm and its organic farming techniques.
