MUKUNGA ESTATE AA, KENYA
Mukunga Estate is owned and operated by Hanner Wanjiku Mukunga. The estate’s high altitude from 1850 to 1880 masl creates the ideal conditions for cultivating high-quality coffee. Hanner complements these conditions with a focus on quality-oriented processing.
Hanner selectively handpicks ripe red cherry and processes it on the estate using his own wet mill. Cherry is pulped, fermented and washed in clean water and laid to dry on raised beds for around 15 days, depending on conditions.
MUSTEFA ABALULESSA, ETHIOPIA
There are over two million smallholder coffee farmers in Ethiopia, but there is only one Mustefa Abbalulessa. He is considered an industry pioneer and community leader in the region, where he provides coffee seeds and support to the local coffee industry.
Mustefa Abalulessa was one of the first producers to gain such a license, and after an initial meeting in 2018, Seeds could purchase directly from Mustefa in 2021. Further changes followed in 2019/2020, which helped washing station owners obtain export licenses.
