Bench Maji Sheko Zone

We are currently working in Bench Maji zone, Sheko woreda where the UNESCO protected Majang forest is located. With an altitude of 1400 – 2,500 meters above sea level, the Sheko woreda is famous for its naturally occurring wild coffee trees. The region’s altitude and favorable climate is ideal for coffee cultivation. Only the ripe and selected coffee beans are harvested from the Bench Maji forest, where it is brought to our laboratory to be tasted at our cupping laboratory on site. We produce different types of coffee with varying human intervention. Including forest coffee, semi-forest coffee, and fruity wild coffee. After passing through our strong quality control system, the harvested coffee is then cleaned in our washing station and transported to the port ready for export.
