Phil & Sebastian Buku Sayisa - Espresso

 Esayas Beriso and Meskerem Tomas’s almost 40 hectare farm, called Buku Abel, is uncommonly large for the area, but it didn’t start that size. Prior to farming, Esayas worked in a government office in the southern town of Dimtu (just 5 kms from his future farm). He planted coffee trees on the side, while his brothers offered a coffee cherry collection and delivery service. In 2009, he left his government position to be a full-time coffee farmer together with his wife, Meskerem Tomas, who now manages the harvesting for the farm.
