This coffee comes from: Tero Farm where smallholders must participate in comprehensive registration and training, including mapping of each smallholder’s farm and training in agronomy and processing. Through this program, farmers benefit from higher prices paid for higher quality cherry, pre-harvest financing, and distribution of seedlings and coffee bags for transport. Smallholders living in the vicinity of Tero Farm deliver their cherries to the farm or to nearby collection centers managed by Dimtu. This coffee is certified organic.

Of the over 100 million people in Ethiopia, almost 15 million rely on coffee for income. Coffee accounts for 60% of foreign income, and is about 40% of total country exports. We are committed to paying at least 2x more than the market rate for this coffee as a way to tangibly invest in the lives of Ethiopian coffee producers.
