What’s the story?
Grown in the high-elevation village of Rumudamo in Sidama, this exceptional washed coffee is produced by more than 600 smallholder farmers working with the renowned Daye Bensa Coffee network. Located in the Arbegona district at elevations reaching up to 2,400 meters above sea level, Rumudamo has become one of Ethiopia’s most celebrated coffee origins, earning multiple top placements in the 2020 Ethiopia Cup of Excellence.
In the cup, expect a beautifully expressive profile with notes of juicy peach, zesty lemon curd, and fragrant bergamot. A delicate, tea-like body carries concentrated yellow-fruit sweetness through a clean, elegant finish.
Daye Bensa
- Exceptional and award-winning coffee quality
Daye Bensa has established a reputation for producing high-end specialty coffee that consistently earns top honors in prestigious international competitions.
- Top competition results: In the three years from 2020 to 2022, Daye Bensa earned a spot in the top 10 at the Cup of Excellence (COE) six times, and in 2022, one of its lots secured second place.
- Strategic processing: The cooperative employs meticulous, state-of-the-art processing techniques, including washed, natural, and anaerobic methods. It maintains and rebuilds extensive raised drying beds every harvest season and utilizes a specialized fermentation shed at its Gatta Farm to precisely execute processing for different coffee lots.
- Strong commitment to farmers and community
Beyond producing excellent coffee, Daye Bensa is deeply invested in creating a positive impact on the livelihoods of its partner farmers and the wider community.
- Direct farmer support: The company pays farmers a second, bonus payment after their coffee is sold, in addition to the initial cash payment at the washing station. This incentive helps align the farmers’ success with the cooperative’s.
- Social investment: In 2023, Daye Bensa completed a $1 million initiative to build five fully equipped schools in underserved areas. This project provides education to over 1,400 students, shortening the distance children in the region must travel to attend school.
- Ongoing engagement: The cooperative holds annual Farmers’ Day events to honor their partners’ hard work. It has also created a Coffee Processing School to cultivate the next generation of skilled coffee professionals in the region.
- Sustainable and transparent operations
Daye Bensa focuses on environmental sustainability and supply chain transparency, which is a growing priority for specialty coffee consumers.
- Eco-friendly processing: The cooperative is installing eco-pulpers at its washing stations, which use significantly less water than traditional equipment. Daye Bensa has already saved millions of liters of water using this technology and aims to convert all its stations by 2030.
- Collaborative partnerships: Through its partnerships, Daye Bensa fosters transparent and ethical sourcing. Recycled coffee sacks have been repurposed into handcrafted bags as a symbol of this collaboration and commitment to sustainability.
- Farm-to-cup connection: To better connect farmers to their products’ value, Daye Bensa organized cupping sessions where growers could taste their own high-quality specialty coffee brewed using consumer-grade methods. This creates a powerful feedback loop and reinforces the farmers’ sense of dignity and ownership over their work.
