Sisters' Surprise Ethiopia Galeh

This coffee comes from an exceptional region. Jimma is considered the birthplace of coffee, and what makes this lot even more special is that the farmers' coffee plants originate from an indigenous, natural forest. No external inputs are used: all fertilisation is produced locally and carried out entirely by the land itself.

Sarah on her journey of discovery to this region:
“It never ceases to amaze me how inspired I return, even though these trips are exhausting and intense. Yet this one was different. More intense. More pure. Everything exudes authenticity and connection – with nature, with each other, with time. It was as if I had come closer to the soul of coffee itself.”

During her trip, Sarah also met Tsedenia, an impressive woman who runs the Mocca coffee company. She beautifully expresses what coffee means to this community:
“‘Come, let’s drink coffee’ is here often said to neighbors, inviting them to join the coffee ceremony. Coffee is never a solitary ritual – it’s something to be shared. It is an act of togetherness, of being present with one another.”
