Ethiopia Natural Halo Beriti

One of our newest relationship coffees comes to us through a friendship forged between Joey Dolin (D&W’s Coffee Director) and Mebrahtu Aynalem, co-founder of Boledu Industrial. Started in 2018 by Mebrahtu and his friend Abyote Ageze, Boledu is an exporter and washing station operator working across multiple districts in Ethiopia. Boledu also ranked #21 as a winning producer in Ethiopia's first Cup of Excellence competition in 2020. This natural coffee comes to us from the Halo Beriti washing station. Boledu Industrial works to provide farmers with the education and training needed to meet specialty coffee standards, such as best picking practices to ensure high percentages of ripe cherries and employing agronomists to oversee the preparation and processing of washed and natural coffees at the washing stations.
