BLACKBERRY | TANGERINE | CARAMEL
JIMMA, ETHIOPIA
A beautifully balanced coffee, we are thoroughly enjoying this Ethiopia as a silky espresso or juicy filter coffee.
Derived from Amharic language, Biftu Gudina means "ray of development." The cooperative was established in 2012, and is located in the Agaro - Goma woreda (district) within the Jimma zone. There are about 150 smallholders in total. Located near Jimma town, the co-op benefits from high altitude and rich fertile soils. The surrounding area is green and lush.
Biftu Gudina has a strong leadership and chairman who together with Technoserve (an NGO that supports farmers in setting up washing stations and new cooperative structures) established the cooperative. Initial funding came from Falcon Coffees.
