Ethiopia - Jimma - Gomma - Nazimu Abamecha - Guracho - Q1 - Honey

Nazimu Abamecha is a passionate producer and owner of several farms, including Guracho and Abachabsa. Guracho covers 8.5 hectares at an altitude of 2010 metres in the Jimma region of Gomma, in the kebele (village) of Bashasha Badiya. The former Department of Agriculture and Rural Development gave Nazimu and his brothers coffee trees that were between 3 and 15 years old. Today they grow their coffee in a rich natural environment surrounded by indigenous tree species.

Nazimu Abamecha is a child from Botto, a village where his family has been producing coffee for several generations. We've been working together since 2018. He inherited his father's farm and hopes that one day one of his children will manage the land like him here. Nazimu, a man full of energy, is concerned to reveal the best of Jimma's coffees. He created the Duromina cooperative to ensure better recognition of the region's coffee production. He was the manager of this cooperative for 8 years. So, his knowledge on the product, on trading and his dedication to this work is huge.

But, aware that increasing value of coffee is linked with a better traceability, he decided to sell his coffee independently. His focus on high-end quality microlots and traceability has led him to partner with Belco to bring you the best of Jimma's coffees. As a proud inheritor of his family's coffee-producing legacy, Nazimu hopes to pass on his knowledge and passion to future generations.
