Getaneh Girma

Nestled in the heart of Yirgacheffe, Mr. Getaneh Girma has spent his life surrounded by the rich, fertile lands of this legendary coffee region. With unwavering passion, he produces exceptional coffee on his farm in Idido, personally overseeing every step from the field to the drying bed.

This natural-processed coffee is an exceptionally complex and expressive example of the famed Yirgacheffe region. The cup opens with a pronounced floral aroma, followed by layers of ripe yellow fruit and bright citrus. Peach, apricot, and sweet orange build through the cup, while a warm, spicy finish brings notes reminiscent of cinnamon and clove.

We originally discovered Mr. Girma’s coffee through our long-time partner Robel Kidane and his team at Lulo Coffee. Their dedication to price transparency and detailed traceability has allowed them to partner with over 30 individual producers, bringing their single-farm offerings to the international market—a challenging feat in Ethiopia’s complex coffee landscape.
