Some of our favorite people and Coffee started with the numbers. Getachew’s career in coffee began as an accountant – a bean counter. After saving up his birr, he was able to purchase some land in Addis Ababa as an investment property. In 2008, amidst a rise in urban real-estate, he sold the property. The proceeds from that sale allowed him to purchase land in Shakisso – and in 2009, he started planting coffee. That was the beginning of Dimtu, Getachew would harvest his own plants – and became a cherry buyer (registered to collect from outgrowers) – and began selling his dried cherry to the ECX.
In 2016 – turning toward specialty, Getachew registered Dimtu PLC, (previous exporting under the more commercially oriented Almaz), now with his own farm, a washing station that he built as well – he was focused on quality coffees from Guji’s highlands.
Frustrated with the speed and quality of dry milling, Getachew built a dry mill – and he’s now able to have agency over his coffee and qualities from cherry, to export. This is the level of detail-orientation and process control that we love – it’s demonstrative of a true commitment to quality. This is why we love the bean counters. Thank you, Getachew – its an honor to be working with a consummate professional.
