This coffee is sourced from Lulo Coffee, a company founded by Robel Kidane, who

possesses extensive experience in coffee processing. Robel's family has been rooted

in Dilla, Ethiopia, a significant coffee trading hub situated near renowned coffee

regions such as Sidama, Gedeo (Yirgacheffe), and Guji. Growing up in this area, Robel

cultivated a deep passion for coffee, which inspired him to establish Lulo Coffee.

Lulo Coffee's export office and Lulo Lab are located in Addis Ababa, where they focus

on delivering high-quality coffee from the East African Rift Valley to the global

market. The coffee is sourced from farms across various regions, with each bean

embodying the collaborative effort and vision shared between Robel and the local

farmers.

Lulo Coffee distinguishes itself through its "Lulo Promise" program, which fosters

strong partnerships with farms to ensure market access, transparent pricing, and

complete traceability. This model guarantees premium-quality coffee while ensuring

that farmers receive up to 88% of the value, thereby promoting sustainability and fair

trade. Each cup of coffee narrates the story of the land and the farmers' dedication,

reflecting Lulo Coffee's unwavering commitment to quality and equity.

Lulo Coffee is dedicated to organic farming and sustainability, refraining from the use

of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides on all its farms. Instead, they utilize

natural compost to enrich the soil, thereby protecting the environment while

enhancing the quality of their coffee. Grown at elevations above 1,800 meters in

shaded, garden-style fields, these beans develop the signature sweetness, fruitybrightness, and floral notes characteristic of Yirgacheffe coffee.

Lulo Coffee promotes biodiversity and regenerative farming by planting native and

faux banana trees among coffee crops to retain soil moisture and sustain the water

supply. They also enhance wastewater management to minimize environmental

impact and protect ecosystems—ensuring high-quality coffee while caring for the

land and the community
