Story

Konga washing station is situated in the Konga Kebele neighbourhood of the Yirgacheffe region. There are many sub regions in this area that produces outstanding coffee, and Gedeb is one of it. There are numerous coffee washing stations in the neighbourhood of Konga Kebele in Yirgacheffe, all named the same: this means that coffee labelled Konga, doesn’t necessarily imply that it’s been produced by a singular farmer, producer, or washing station.

Around 1,200 small coffee holders contribute their coffee cherries to the Konga washing station, where Abiot Ageze and Mebrehatu Aynalem export under the name of Boledu Industrial Plc. With over 14 years coffee experience, the duo have been championing quality coffee, education, traceability, and better pricing for farmers. Coffee from Ethiopia may be complex, but it’s entirely worth the pursuit
