Producer: Nguisse Kayimo

In the heart of Sidama’s Bensa Woreda, Keramo Kebele, lies the farm of Nguisse Keyamo, a dedicated coffee producer who shares the timeless passion of Ethiopian farmers.Like many in his community, Nguisse provides meticulous care to his trees throughout the year, nurturing them as part of his family’s heritage. In his plot, Nguisse cultivates the heirloom varieties 74110 and 74158 (also called locally as Walega), known for their complexity and resilience. During harvest, only the ripest cherries are carefully handpicked and then naturally dried on raised African beds for up to 15 days. After drying, the coffee is milled before making its way to Addis Ababa for export, ensuring full traceability from farm to cup. Nguisse’s dedication results in a coffee that reflects both his craftsmanship and the unique terroir of Keramo – bright, complex, and deeply expressive of Sidama’s highlands.
