About the producer

Tigest Wako is a dedicated coffee producer based in the Yirgacheffe region, Gedeo zone, in the kebele of Wogida, kebele of Jima'a. This is a region known for its fertile soil and ideal climate for growing coffee. Tigist grows coffee at 1962 masl, and her farm is 7.4 hectares in size.

Tigest was inspired by the introduction of specialty coffee in Ethiopia in 2010, which prompted her to start her own farm and contribute to the growing industry. In 2023, her hard work paid off as she achieved an impressive annual production of 119.00 quintals. She has also been in the top 150 candidates for Cup of Excellence two times.

Her goal is to increase productivity, become known as one of the best producers in Yirgacheffe, and eventually make her farm even more productive. Tigest's most rewarding aspect is "seeing the fruits of my labour pay off when I deliver high-quality beans to consumers."
