Tesfaye Bekele’s response was to plant — coffee seedlings and shade trees, one at a time, until the forest came back. This coffee came from those ashes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ethiopia · Guji Zone · Suke Quto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Washed — fruit skin removed before drying, producing a clean structured cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoast:\u003c\/strong\u003e Espresso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Espresso, Long Black, Flat White, Latte\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Story\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTesfaye Bekele was working for Ethiopia’s national forestry service when the fires tore through Odo Shakiso in 1998. His colleagues saw devastation. He saw an opportunity to rebuild differently — distributing coffee and shade-tree seedlings to 170 outgrowers, persuading a region known for mineral extraction that coffee was a viable future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt required patience. Newly planted coffee takes three to five years to produce. But the conviction held. Tesfaye left his government post, established a demonstration farm, a nursery, and two washing stations. He has since funded a school in the village of Kurume. Today, Suke Quto works with 171 growers — and the forest that was ash in 1998 is now canopy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe farm is named for the Suke River. ‘Quto’ means forest in the Oromo language. When you buy this coffee, you are, in a small way, keeping a promise made over the ruins of one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIn the Cup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean and bright.
