Guided by seasoned quality manager Fikru Demissie, it’s a place where cherries arrive on horseback, from farms so remote they’ve yet to see electricity.<br></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>We paid 72% above the Fair Trade price for this coffee - learn why <a href="https://www.rumblecoffee.com.au/blogs/transparency-project/ethiopia-tuma-tesso" target="_blank" title="Transparency Report for Tuma Tesso single origin espresso from Rumble Coffee Roasters" rel="noopener">here.</a></strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Atoma, sometimes called “Telila Site Two,” began operating in 2022/2023. Though young, it leans on Fikru’s two decades of experience at Addis Exporter (its sister company, dry miller, and exporter), ensuring each lot benefits from hard-earned knowledge and meticulous quality control.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>In Tuma Tesso kebele, harvest means long rides along rugged trails, with farmers delivering the cherry to the station, sometimes twice in a single evening.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>The 2024/2025 season was unkind. An early start, little to no ripening rain, and unpredictable weather meant many cherries skipped the ripe stage altogether. A surge in cherry prices, while welcome for farmers’ incomes, reduced the incentive to sort carefully.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Yet, against the odds, Atoma produced coffee with the region’s familiar grace: soft melon, ginger spice, and bright citrus. It’s a cup that carries both the challenges of its season and the quiet determination of those who grew, delivered and processed it.</span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>
