Mustefa Abakeno

Mustefa Abakeno, a dedicated smallholder farmer in the Jimma region of western Ethiopia, manages an expansive 18-hectare farm situated at an impressive altitude of 2,040 meters above sea level. His farm embodies Ethiopia's rich coffee heritage and offers a diverse range of coffee varieties sourced from the renowned Jimma research center. Mustefa's coffee processing methods skillfully blend tradition with innovation, creating a truly unique production.

In 2018, Mustefa embarked on his journey as an exporter, benefiting from regulatory changes that enabled him to connect directly with importers. He later established his own washing station, "Beshasha," where he processes both his coffee and that of local growers. These neighboring farmers manage plots ranging from 4 to 10 hectares.

Mustefa’s collaboration with the Falcon team in Addis Ababa highlights the potential to improve coffee quality through direct relationships. This partnership covers various aspects of coffee production, including cherry selection, drying, and farm management, while also streamlining the supply chain to ensure a significant portion of profits benefits the producers directly.

A key milestone in 2021 was the addition of agronomist Harun to the Falcon team. During the latest harvest, Harun focused on training and supporting Mustefa and local farmers who supply cherries for processing at the mill. His efforts led to numerous improvements at the mill, including the installation of shade nets to protect drying areas during the hottest parts of the day.

Processing

Mustefa processes half of his production using the natural method and the other half with the washed method, and our coffee was processed this way as well. Due to limited water availability and restricted fermentation space, the de-pulped coffee cherries underwent only a brief eight-hour fermentation before being hand-transferred to drying beds. The result of this process is a light, floral coffee with pleasant acidity and a honey-sweet body.

Bag or tube?

For our coffee, we use recyclable bags, which are more suitable for the coffee, or tubes. The choice of packaging is up to you.

The tubes are great as gift packaging. We would be happy if you reused the tubes for other things (for pencils, glasses, etc.), or if you bring the tube back when you come for more coffee.
