Upon the first sip, Suke Quto brings back memories of ripe strawberries. Juicy and fresh before transforming into a refreshing flavor reminiscent of pine. Rounding out with buttery notes of shortbread. This delicate and sweet offering is perfect for those excited about Ethiopian coffees. We recommend Suke Quto for fans of the previous year’s Ethiopia Sakaro. Suke Quto Farm stretches out across highland and valleys in the Shakisso woreda in the Guji region. The lush landscape with volcanic soil creates the perfect environment for growing coffee. Tesfaye Bekele, a pioneer for coffee farming in the Guji zone, founded the Suke Quto Farm and Washing Station. Tesfaye focuses heavily on preserving Guji’s forest, and his efforts at Suke Quto have set the groundwork for most other farms in the area. In addition to the 171 farmers that provide their cherries to the washing station for processing, Tesfaye owns 221 hectares in the Guji Highlands. Giving back to the community is an integral part of the mission at Suke Quto, from hiring more than 200 seasonal workers each year to initiating a community project to renew local schools.
