Tomas is a coffee producer from Ethiopia - sidama region. before turning his attention to coffee, tomas used to work for the government in the bensa worenda financial office.
tomas inherited some producing land from his father and has cultivated coffee since 2011 when he gained his exporting license in 2020. unlike most smallholders in the area, tomas processes his coffee on his own drying station which gives him full control of the quality of his coffee from harvest to through storage.
tomas has a full time staff of just 3 and employs a further 40 during the coffee harvest months of late september to the end of december.
the main varietal tomas grows is 74158*. the coffee grows over a 4 hectare area under the canopy of native trees which keeps the soil fertile and rich in nutrients.
