About Assefa Dukamo of Ethiopia
Assefa is a mountain of an Ethiopian man. Standing well over six-feet tall, he is a presence to be reckoned with. His unrelenting work ethic and contagious drive inspires everyone around him to excellence, which is easily evident in the communities where he works and in his own 100+ hectares coffee estate.
Assefa takes his responsibility to his employees very seriously. For example, during a recent national shortage of physical currency, he couldn’t withdraw any money from his account to pay his workers. Rather than have them go without, he called some friends from other coffee mills, borrowing the necessary cash to pay employees on time.

Our journey began more than two decades ago when we discovered the world of premium coffee and the diverse range of varieties available in the market.

Over the years, we have experienced remarkable growth and recently celebrated five years of roasting excellence in the United States. Our roastery is located in Owosso, Michigan, a charming community adorned with captivating historic landmarks. As a company, we take pride in directly importing 90% of our coffees from dedicated growers in Central America, while the remaining 10% is sourced through our valued partner, CATALYST CONSULTING, who provides us with exceptional Ethiopian coffees.
