Ethiopia

Worku Buche Coffee is a growing force in Ethiopia’s specialty coffee scene. Based in the renowned Yirgachefe region, Worku founded a farm group in 2023 in Chelchele village, committed to producing traceable, high-quality coffees. His strong network and dedication have helped bring exceptional Ethiopian coffees to the global stage. The ripe cherries are handpicked, and then spread out on raised beds to naturally ferment, they are then hulled, and sorted by size and density. To cope with climate change, Worku Buche Coffee uses shade trees, soil conservation, and careful water management to protect plants and maintain soil health. By focusing on selective harvesting of fully ripe cherries and improved post-harvest handling, they preserve quality even under challenging climate conditions.
