Yirgacheffe Koke Honey reflects a growing story in southern Ethiopia—one told by the land, and the people who tend it. This harvest comes from the Gedeo Zone’s Yirgacheffe district, sourced from a constellation of micro-kebeles including Koke, Birbes Kela, Konga, Wedessa, and Tisho. To meet the rising demand for the layered, fruit-forward cup that Koke is known for, Semira Negash began operating Birbes Kela washing station to better represent emerging producers in Ethiopia in 2022. Just up the road from Koke, her station brings the same altitude, climate, and processing precision—with a fresh edge.
