Sending fresh-crop samples to clients around the world! 🌍 From our farms to your cup, each sample is carefully prepared to showcase the care, quality, and story of our farmers and farms.

This harvest gave us the chance to focus on the small things that make the biggest difference in quality. We added shade over drying beds for slower, more even drying, provided hands-on training for station staff, and closely monitored drying bed activity each day. Quality is built by adjusting the small things and through detailed monitoring at every stage. Simple actions, stronger results.

In the midst of moving our coffees from Bensa to our Addis Ababa warehouse, there’s a lot of cupping happening in the office. We cup every arrival to differentiate grades and cup profiles for each lot. Although all coffees are first cupped at our Bensa office, we cup again in Addis to match profiles, maintain traceability, and ensure consistency. We also cup with visiting clients to better understand their needs and select the right coffees.

Fichee-Chambalaalla 🎉
Sidama New Year, celebrated for generations after the harvest season. It is a time when communities come together to reflect on the past season, and welcome a new beginning.

For us this moment closely reflects the rhythm of our work. As the harvest ends, we also begin again, preparing for the next harvest, caring for the farms and looking ahead to a new coffee season.

Fichee-Chambalaalla marks the close of one coffee harvest and the beginning of something new.

Another new project we undertook this recent harvest. Across our 13 farms in Sidama, close to 50 hectares, we’re taking a focused approach to precision and traceability. Each farm is managed and harvested individually to preserve its unique character.

All cherries are brought to Gatta to be processed separately, with dedicated drying beds and unique lot codes for each farm. This ensures full traceability from farm to cup. Every lot is also cupped individually, allowing us to understand and refine the distinct profiles from each farm.

Harvest is complete. After months of careful picking, processing, and preparation at origin, we are now entering shipment time. Our coffees are moving from our Bensa warehouse to Addis Ababa, where final milling, quality control, and sample confirmations take place. Once everything meets our standards, the lots are prepared for export and shipped to our partners around the world.

We launched our single-farmer project for the first time, processing each farmer’s coffee individually at Gatta. 30 dedicated member farmers now deliver their cherries to the station, where each lot is handled on separate processing blocks, carefully tracked from cherry to cup. This approach strengthens traceability, transparency, and quality control, allowing each farmer’s work and character to be clearly expressed.

By giving every lot its own space and attention, we highlight distinct cup profiles and true farm-level identity, creating a stronger connection between the farmer, the process, and the final cup.

Daye Bensa is named after a town in Sidama famous for its coffee villages. Our story has always been about more than coffee. It is about the people who grow it and the communities behind it. We work side by side with producers and farms we have known for many years, engaging deeply with the community and its challenges.

Today, our coffee processing students graduated after three months of training at Gatta. This marks our sixth year welcoming fresh graduates from different regions, and this year we had our largest group yet with 29 students. Each year, we continue to learn and improve the program to give students a better training experience.

Congratulations to all the students on this achievement.🎉

Grija Station holds a special place in our journey. Built around 26 years ago through a partnership with 13 local members, it reflects the strength of long-term community collaboration. Most of these partners have remained committed over the years, and the partnership still exists today. Grija continues to be one of our key contributors of premium Grade 2 (G2) coffee.
