About Smallholder producers of Ethiopia
In the Kochere area, smallholders grow coffee in their backyards and fields on heirloom varietals of Arabica origin. By one count, there are approximately 4000 different strains, creating a complex coffee made even more outstanding by the immaculate processing labeled YirgZ (zero defect). Approximately 1500 farmers bring their cherries to a private washing station owned by Masrshu Sima where they are taken through the stringent process that will earn the YirgZ stamp. This label is a trademark of Keffa Coffee, importers of quality Ethiopian beans.
Keffa is committed to helping support and sustain the people behind their premium coffee beans. Beyond selecting only ripe cherries, beyond screening for size, Keffa employs YirgZ sorters (200 or more women) to triple sort the bean, and pays them twice the average wage. This enables the women to send their children to school and gives families opportunity for a higher quality of life.
