Every year Maker looks forward to fresh crop Ethiopian coffees landing to our shores here in Australia. Brimming with excitement, our roasting and sourcing team have once again this year found very few comparisons that can rival the floral purity and classically fruit driven profile of Mr. Bekele Gemeda. A coffee grower who needs little introduction from us, other than to say that this just might be his most celebrated growing year yet. 

Highly regarded by many coffee roasters and professional baristas alike, Mr. Bekele cultivates his land with heirloom varieties in a way that exemplifies the most crystal clear interpretation of a washed coffee from the Worka region in Yirga Chefe. The unmistakable perfumed floral character of jasmine can be felt halfway across the room and oftentimes can be a gateway to further exploration in specialty coffee for those who have yet to experience this magical cup. Maker simply adores Mr. Bekele’s work and looks forward to sharing this exceptional representation of the highest quality in Ethiopian coffee with you.
