In 2017, after spending several years in mining and local coffee supplying businesses, Ture Waji, Egata Alata, and Fedhesa Wedesa decided to partner and establish a coffee production, processing, and export business. Dambi Udo Agro Industry PLC is named after the name of one of the major coffee growing villages in Odo Shakiso county. The company was registered to operate in Suke Quto village of Odo Shakiso county in Eastern Guji Zone.

The first operation of the company was started in 2018 through the establishment of a natural coffee processing site and dry coffee milling machine in Suke Quto village. Besides these facilities, the company has already established a total of 80 hectares of coffee farms in Dambi Udo village in a specific area called Okolu. In general, there are a total of 123 smallholder coffee farmers from four villages (Dambi Udo, Hangadhi (Tima), Suke Quto and Sawana) who are registered as out-growers to supply red coffee cherries to Dambi Udo Agro Industry. All of the villages are characterized majorly (90%) by having semi forest coffee production systems.

How is your coffee ethically sourced?

We source our coffee from small producers through responsible importing companies. 95% of our green coffee beans are supplied by Caravela Coffee, Cafe Imports, and Melbourne Coffee Merchants (certified B Corporations) plus Condesa Co Lab and more.

We transparently share all the information about each coffee lot (territory of origin, producer, variety, processing method, importer, quality grade) on each coffee page. This includes blend components for our espresso blends.

We take quality sourcing very seriously, so being fully transparent about our coffee is a way to honour everyone’s efforts along the production and gain the trust of ethical-minded consumers.

Learn more about our coffee and business philosophy.

Do you roast dark or light?

We roast our single origins using omni medium/light profiles. (This means you can use it for pour over and espresso brewing, no need to buy different bean bags with specific roast styles.)

We roast our espresso blends using darker profiles.

What is “specialty coffee”?

The definitions and references to specialty coffee are changing.

Historically, and as most people think of it these days, specialty coffee is Arabica beans that score over 80 in the old Specialty Coffee Association point scale. Today, the SCA refers to specialty coffee as “a coffee or coffee experience that is recognized for its distinctive attributes, resulting in a higher value within the marketplace.”

Can I subscribe?

Absolutely. Our coffee subscription lets you get your favourite beans (for filter and espresso, black or milk drinks) delivered regularly for free and with no lock-in periods.
