About Basha Bekele of Ethiopia
Basha's Bombe drying station in Bensa is a cornerstone of the community he and his father have uplifted, even constructing a local church. Armed with his own export license, Basha tends to 12 hectares of semi-forested coffee plots, primarily cultivating the locally cherished 74158 variety, known as "Walega." His outreach spans Bombe, Shantawane, and Kokose, collecting cherry from producers at elevations as high as 2300 meters above sea level. Notably, Basha ensures fair practices by providing a second payment to the 126 producers he purchases cherry from, even after cherry prices surged this year.
Like many smallholders in the Bensa region, Basha specializes in dry processes, experimenting with anaerobic fermentation and employing cherry flotation before meticulously drying his coffee on raised beds, some under shade.

Tinker Coffee Co.
When brothers-in-law Steve Hall and Jeff Johnson founded Tinker Coffee Co., they had a simple plan: bring the specialty coffee scene to their own Indianapolis, Indiana backyard. Combining backgrounds in wine and tech (Jeff worked with IBM for 10 years) with a dedication to sourcing fantastic coffees and sharing the excitement with customers, Tinker Coffee was named "Best Coffee in Indiana" by Food & Wine, so their hard work is paying off!
Tinker Coffee was founded in 2014 and roasts coffee for a sweet group of restaurants, cafes, offices, and markets. Jeff admits to preferring Colombian coffees, and Steve, Kenyas.
