About this coffee: 

At 2,350 masl in Murago, Sidama, Bekele’s farm is part of a new wave of high-altitude coffee production. Producing Natural, Anaerobic Natural, and Honey-processed coffees, his slow drying techniques create complex flavors. We’re working together to improve sorting, extend shade drying, and support his organic certification to add even more value.

About Coffee Collective: 

At Coffee Collective, we work from a simple yet essential philosophy: To create truly great coffee, we start with the people who grow the beans. We trade directly with coffee farmers and pay prices far above market level. This is not just an investment in quality but also in farmers’ livelihoods, their future, and a more sustainable coffee industry.

Just as you pay a premium for a great wine, we believe that exceptional craftsmanship and outstanding quality deserve fair rewards. By paying more, we enable producers to invest in better production methods, improve their quality of life, and develop coffee to new heights, something you can taste in every cup.
