What is so special about this coffee?
Grade 1 provides information about the coffee’s preparation. Ethiopian grading considers physical defects in the green beans alongside sensory evaluation. That adds a quality reference to the growing and processing details supplied with the lot.
Tega & Tula works through its own farms and washing stations, combining estate production in Kaffa, Gesha, and Anderacha with regional selections such as Sidama. Its experience includes growing coffee and preparing lots from other producing areas in Ethiopia.
Tega & Tula, Led by Ahadu Woubshet
Ahadu Woubshet was part of the founding executive team at the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange before investing in coffee farming. Since taking direction of Tega & Tula in 2015, he has developed the estate for specialty coffee production, with professional farm management and infrastructure planned around the surrounding environment.
The original farms take their names from the neighbouring villages of Tega and Tula, where many estate employees live. The business has supported local school programmes and funded scholarships for young women continuing their education, specific commitments that connect its work in coffee with the communities around the farms.
The Land Behind Tega & Tula Coffees
Tega & Tula began farming in Kaffa, southwestern Ethiopia, and also grows coffee in Gesha and Anderacha. Its farms are located in the Kaffa and Sheka biosphere reserves, where coffee grows alongside forest. The company also works with coffees from other regions, including Sidama, through its washing stations.
Tega & Tula manages its own farms, processing facilities, and coffee exports. This keeps the team involved in growing and preparing its estate coffees, as well as processing lots from other producing areas. Each coffee has its own growing location and preparation details, which help buyers understand the lot they are evaluating.
