Ayele Tulu

While coffee in Sidama has long been exported around the world, it has only recently become an officially recognized region of Ethiopia. After an overwhelming 98.5% vote in favour of increased autonomy in a referendum in November 2019, the Sidama region was created in June 2020. It is the leading coffee producer in the country, accounting for over a quarter of the yearly production.

This coffee is sourced from the independant farmers around the Ayele Tulu Washing Station in Beka Kebele, Sidama. The washing station was officially founded in 2014, and now has 15 permanent workers and 5 hectares of farm land. Whilst the washing station has only been around for the past 9 years, the eponymous Mr Ayele Tulu has been working in the coffee industry for more than two decades. Coffee runs in the family as his eldest son, Tsegab, has also worked in the industry for many years and now owns his own traceable coffee export company, Heleph Coffee Export. Heleph oversees all coffee preparation protocols, from harvest to export, ensuring they deliver the highest quality beans. Every year they export up to 7 containers worth of processed green coffee beans.

The resulting cup reminds us of fuzzy peach, citrus and pomegranate.
