Tesfaye Bekele
That graceful, washed structure light and lifted with a silky transparency that lets you taste the place, the people, the patience behind every cherry. Suke Quto isn’t new to us. It’s a farm that’s been setting the bar high for over a decade, led by Tesfaye Bekele, who’s not just a producer, he’s a visionary. A forester by training, Tesfaye’s work planting native trees and integrating coffee cultivation with environmental restoration makes this coffee not just delicious, but essential.

Elegance makes it sing.
We’re roasting this one light, keeping it nimble. A little longer, Maillard to stretch those sugars, then off the heat before anything flattens. It cups like a lucid dream, sweet, structured, and positively luminous. This is the kind of coffee that reminds us why we got into this in the first place. Not to chase trends, but to chase flavor. Truth. Terroir. And right now, the truth is in this cup.
