Dukamo Family: a coffee-growing family from Sidama

It comes from Dukamo Family, a coffee-producing family based in the Bensa-Sidama area. The family's story began with brothers Asefa and Mulugeta Dukamo, who grew up helping their parents and neighbors cultivate coffee. They eventually decided to dedicate themselves to coffee farming with the ambition of showcasing the potential of coffee from their region to the world.

After more than 15 years of development, the family has built a coffee business deeply involved in the production, harvesting, and export of Sidama coffee. Today, Dukamo Family manages three farms, 42 washing stations, and six dry mills, working with more than 2,500 farmers who follow good agricultural practices focused on sustainability and traceability.

This lot is processed using the innovative Natural Sleeping Bag method. Carefully selected ripe cherries are dried outdoors using the Sleeping Bag technique, which allows greater control over the drying process. This approach helps enhance the coffee's natural fruit character and sweetness while maintaining a clean and expressive cup.

In the cup, delivers a vibrant and fruit-forward profile with notes of red plum, red cherry, strawberry, nectarine, honey, light caramel, and green tea. Its pronounced sweetness, balanced body, and exceptional cup cleanliness create a layered and expressive drinking experience.

At Blue Faro, we roast this coffee in small batches to emphasize its vibrant fruit character and preserve the aromatic clarity that makes exceptional Ethiopian coffees so distinctive. Its expressive profile makes it particularly well suited to filter brewing, while espresso brings out a more concentrated and aromatic expression.
