Environmental Responsibility
Our coffee thrives beneath natural forest canopy. We protect biodiversity, conserve water and improve soils so that every harvest sustains the land we rely on.
- Shade-grown systems preserving biodiversity with ≥ 30% canopy cover.
- Compost and organic matter to enrich soils and reduce synthetic inputs.
- Water-efficient pulping with responsible wastewater treatment.
- Local reforestation and erosion-control initiatives around farmer sites.
Empowering Farmers & Communities
Quality starts with people. We build long-term partnerships with out-growers and invest in training, timely payments and community projects across the Jimma Zone.
- Premium prices and on-time payments within 7 days for quality red cherries.
- Agronomy & post-harvest training: selective picking, sorting and drying.
- Support for women farmers, co-ops and inclusive community enterprises.
- Local investment in water systems, education and job creation.
Ethical Sourcing & Full Traceability
Every lot is documented from farm gate to export dock. Our systems link station records, warehouse movements and cupping notes to each bag.
- On-site receiving logs, batch IDs and station records at all processing points.
