The Story
In the Jimma Zone of western Ethiopia, near the birthplace of coffee, large areas of pristine forests shade tall, spindly, and wild coffee trees. Producers’ farms contain an unknown number of indigenous varieties brought from the forest over generations.
In 2010, the Nano Challa cooperative was selected by the Technoserve Coffee Initiative to receive technical assistance and build one of the first washing stations in the region. The transition to fully washed coffees marked a turning point in quality for these producers, and their success continues to draw area farmers to the cooperative. Originally just 25 members in 2004, the group has grown to 625 producers.
