Producer Profile
Bekele Yutute, who comes from a family of coffee producers in Dembe, has owned his own farm and drying station Kokose, since 2019. Prior to that, he had been selling cherry to local suppliers. In 2021, Bekele and his nephew Samuel produced the 2021 COE 5th place lot, which has brought a great deal of attention to his coffee. Bekele is a small, independent exporter. He works primarily with the Walega (74158) variety. Initially focusing on naturals and anaerobics, Bekele has in recent years started producing white honeys such as this lot. In 2024, Bekele once again placed among the top lots in the COE.

Sidama
Arbegona Woreda is part of the famous Sidama zone, where many of our favourite Ethiopian coffees are grown. Coffee is the main cash crop in Arbegona, where it benefits from very high altitudes and a favourable micro-climate.
74158
74158 is one of six selections that were approved for release in 1974 as part of a CBD-resistance (Coffee Berry Disease) selection program. During the 1970's, researchers from the Jimma Agricultural Research Centre searched the forests in the Illuababora zone for CBD-resistant mother trees. Today 74158 is heavily propagated in South Western Ethiopia, and is one of two dominant varieties in Bensa, along with 74112.
