Producer Profile
Tagel grew up in Bule Hora, the son of a local coffee trader who built the first washing station there and installed the first Pinhalense dry huller in Ethiopia. Starting in 2004, Tagel worked as washing station manager at one of first specialty natural stations in Guji, and founded Olkai in 2018 as the government export regulations opened. Olkai is a family business; his wife works as the export manager. Tagel and Olkai operate a half dozen washing stations in the south dotting many of the most sought-after regions for quality. Tagel’s ties to the community were forged over 20 years of collecting cherry from these regions. Community members later sold land to make space for him to operate a washing station in their community.

Guji
This famous coffee growing region is known for its rich, volcanic soil. High altitudes, bi-modal rainfall patterns and dry weather which allows for coffee to develop slowly and consistently here.
Dega & Kurume
Kurume and Dega are JARC (Jimma Agricultural Research Centre) varieties. JARC developed these varieties in response to a devasting wave of Coffee Berry Disease (CBD) in the 1960s. These varieties were bred to be resistant to CBD.
