Mustefa manages an 18-hectare farm located at approximately 2,040 metres above sea level. His farm is planted with a range of coffee varieties sourced from the Jimma Agricultural Research Centre, reflecting both the region’s coffee heritage and ongoing work to improve quality and productivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tabs__paragraph\"\u003eMustefa began working as an exporter and established the Beshasha wet mill. The station processes coffee from Mustefa’s own farm as well as cherry delivered by neighbouring outgrowers, who typically manage farms ranging from around four to ten hectares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tabs__paragraph\"\u003eMustefa’s relationship with Falcon in Addis Ababa has focused on improving quality through direct collaboration across cherry selection, drying, lot separation and farm management. This work has also supported a more direct supply chain, helping more of the value return to producers while improving traceability for buyers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tabs__paragraph\"\u003eBadeyi is one of the additional purchasing sites acquired by Mustefa during the 2022 off-season, alongside Echamo, Jarso and Saadi. These sites act as collection points where cherries are selected and purchased from neighbouring farmers before being transported to Mustefa’s main processing stations at Beshasha and Kabira. The Badeyi site strengthens Mustefa’s ability to source cherry from surrounding farmers while maintaining closer control over selection at the point of purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tabs__paragraph\"\u003eFor this natural Kabira, the cherries are delivered and floated to remove immature or lower-density fruit. The coffee is then skin-dried under shade for one day before being moved to raised beds, where it dries for around 20 to 30 days depending on weather conditions. Regular turning and careful moisture monitoring are used to support even drying and reduce the risk of spoilage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tabs__paragraph\"\u003eMustefa has continued to invest in infrastructure to support quality and growth. He has built a modern warehouse in Agaro with facilities for milling natural processed coffees, strengthening his control over post-harvest preparation. The development of purchasing sites such as Badeyi also reinforces his role in connecting neighbouring farmers to a more structured and traceable supply chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tabs__paragraph\"\u003eThe Badeyi lot sits within this wider supply structure, reflecting Mustefa’s focus on selective cherry purchasing, controlled processing and direct relationships with nearby farmers. His continued investment in processing, drying, moisture control and farmer training supports both coffee quality and the development of the surrounding coffee-growing communities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Social Hour Coffee Roasters","offers":[{"title":"227g","offer_id":54172630319451,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1KG","offer_id":54172630352219,"sku":null,"price":39.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0854\/6435\/1067\/files\/Ethiopia-_2.png?v=1790199879","url":"https:\/\/www.socialhourcoffee.uk\/products\/golden-hour-ethiopia-kabira","provider":"Social Hour Coffee Roasters UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
