Elan Organic Coffee

Ethiopia Lekempti
Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee. Lekempti, also known as Nek'empte, is a region located within the state of Welga, about 6 hours west by car from Addis Ababa. A small group of coffee farmers from this region are members of the Oromia Coffee Famrers Cooperative Union (OCFCU), founded in 1999. OCFCU is a union of 24 small cooperatives benefiting 22,700 smallholder famer members.
Elan Organic Coffees has been working with Lekempti for the last three years and has been impressed with the consistently wild cup. Lekempti is the capital city of the region and also the trading name for the specific coffee. The bulk of Lekempti coffee comes from Ghimbi and surrounding regions
