About this coffee

This Gidaamii coffee, named after the terroir where it is produced, is harvested on the slopes of the Kuri mountain. This mountain, which rises to an altitude of 2,400 m, is located in the Wallagga region, in the west of Ethiopia, a few kilometers from the border with Sudan. This terroir is marked by a great wealth of plants and dense forests where endemic species are still maintained. The culture of coffee, under these tree-covered canopies, is here traditional and perpetuated for several centuries. The increase in international demand has brought more importance to coffee growing, which is today an essential part of the regional economy. Ethiopian farmers maintain ancient agricultural know-how where coffee is integrated into polyculture systems, under shade, and according to organic farming.
Gidaamii coffee, from Kuri mountain, is produced by Habtamu Fekadu Aga whose grandfather had started growing coffee on this fertile land in 1945. Habtamu represents the third generation of coffee growers in his family. He produces coffee on more than 100 hectares in the village of Kuri. He completes his own plots with those of two neighboring peasants and friends: Zerihun Hora and Baca Ofgea, who each cultivate an additional 20 hectares.
Habtamu Fekadu Aga, passionate about his profession, takes on the mission of offering beautiful cups, flagships of his native region, produced with the aim of maintaining the sustainable practices of farmers in Wallagga.

A few words about Habtamu Fekadu Aga

Habtamu Fekadu Aga's passion for coffee began when his grandfather, Mr. Aaga Dinsa, invited him to join him on the plantations to share his knowledge on his farm in Kuri Kebele. The family continued to work in the coffee industry, and in 2015, Habtamu founded his company, focusing on new regions, including Guji and Jimma. To maintain consistent quality, Habtamu is fully committed to training producers.  

For Habtamu, education and the fair distribution of wealth are essential. 

The independent producers receive a bonus during the harvest (1-2 birr more than the market price) as well as profits from sales. During the harvest, Habtamu provides accommodation and meals for the pickers. Throughout the year, producers are trained in organic harvest and processing. 

Habtamu's social commitment goes beyond the washing station and extends to 3 main projects : 

  • Construction of a school in the community of Suke
  • Construction of a 3 km road between Woreda Yabitu Coba and the village of Tome
  • Helping to provide drinking water in the most remote areas.
