About: Tesfaye Bekele has done it! When we first started to work with Tesfaye last year, we knew that he took his work seriously. A coffee producer for over 12 years, he's travelled through Central and South America to learn the best cultivation and processing methods from those regions. That dedication has paid off, winning a Presidential Award for scoring 90+ points at the 2021 Ethiopia Cup of Excellence competition. In Tesfaye's own words, "We have participated in other coffee competitions, but none compares to the Cup of Excellence which is undertaken at a very high standard and with promises for better international market linkages. I am excited to win in this prestigious competition".
