Abstract

Hover over each feature to learn more.

Mullugeta Muntasha’s journey from truck driver to esteemed coffee producer reflects his passion and dedication. Raised in Bursa, a region where coffee was once unknown, Mullugeta returned to his roots in 2021 to establish Dawencho, a drying station that soon earned accolades in the Cup of Excellence. By 2022, four of the top 10 winners were from his lots, including the top-ranking coffee from his brother-in-law. This washed lot reflects his hard work and dedication to elevating coffee production in his home region.
