Getachew Zekele

1. What does Getachew Zekele taste like?

Getachew Zekele is floral, silky, and beautifully expressive, with notes of jasmine, floral honey, and ripe apricot. Roasted light, it opens with delicate florals, followed by honey-like sweetness and juicy stone fruit. The result is an elegant, clean cup with remarkable clarity and a silky finish.

2. What makes this coffee so special?

This is a beautiful expression of what makes Guji, Ethiopia, such an exciting coffee-growing region. Grown at high elevation and fully washed, the coffee has the clarity to let its jasmine aromatics, delicate sweetness, and apricot character truly shine.

But what makes it especially meaningful is the care behind it. Getachew Zekele oversees the coffee from farming and washing through milling and export, creating exceptional traceability and attention to quality at every step.

3. Who is Getachew Zekele?

Before becoming one of Guji’s respected coffee producers, Getachew Zekele worked as an accountant. In 2008, he purchased land in Shakisso and began growing coffee, eventually founding Dimtu Coffee PLC to oversee production from farm to export.

Today, his impact reaches far beyond Tero Farm. Getachew works with approximately 700 neighboring growers, providing agronomy training, seedlings, pre-harvest financing, and quality incentives. For us, that makes this coffee even more meaningful—it connects an exceptional cup with knowledge, relationships, and a commitment to growing together.

4. Where does this coffee come from, and how is it processed?

This coffee comes from Tero Farm in Shakisso, Guji, Ethiopia, where it is grown at approximately 1,900–2,100 meters above sea level. It brings together Ethiopian varieties 74158, 74165, 74110, and 74112 and is fully washed.

That washed process helps highlight what we love about this coffee: beautiful clarity, delicate florals, honey-like sweetness, and juicy apricot.

5. What’s the best way to brew Getachew Zekele?

This is a coffee that rewards a little curiosity. We recommend brewing it as Pour Over, Drip, AeroPress, or French Press.

For a cup that really highlights its jasmine aromatics, floral honey sweetness, and delicate apricot, we especially love it as a pour over. Give it a little time to cool as you drink it—the flavors will continue to open and evolve, revealing just how expressive this coffee can be. Sometimes the best part of an exceptional coffee is discovering something new with every sip.
