Grown and harvested at Shantawene, Sidama, Ethiopia, a place known for its rich vegetation climate, and its coffee production.
It all started with two coffee producer brothers, Assefa and Mulugeta Dukamo from the Bensa Sidama area. Now Daye Bensa Coffee is one of the major coffee exporting companies in Ethiopia exporting green coffee directly from its own farms and farms of affiliated farmers. Coffee growing was a part of the Dukamo family’s heritage- their father was a coffee farmer but struggled to make good money selling his coffee locally.
Asefa decided to start taking his father’s coffee to other villages that were paying higher prices for coffee. He then began transporting coffee for friends and neighbours, making enough money that enabled him to purchase a truck, and the rest is history. Asefa’s son, Kenean, is the face of the company today. He moved to the United States to study and returned to Ethiopia several years ago to help with the family business. Focusing on quality to encourage overall value increase in Ethiopian coffee.
