As a young man he drove trucks hauling cherry to washing stations, then became a collector supplying the central market. As the climate made coffee more viable in Bursa, planting spread, and in 2021 Mullugeta came home and built his own drying station, Dawencho.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat same year his coffees placed second (with the Dawencho farmer group) and sixth (under his own name) in Ethiopia's Cup of Excellence. In 2022, four of the competition's top ten coffees were processed at Dawencho. Today the station processes cherry from Mullugeta's farm and about 600 neighboring growers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe process\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a natural: ripe cherries are dried whole on raised beds, so the fruit's sugars soak into the seed. That's where the jammy berry and plum come from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFair pricing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe bought this coffee from our import partner Crop to Cup, who has worked with Mullugeta since 2022.
