Coffee… That amazing drink we have been enjoying for centuries! It
gives us special moments while playing significant roles in daily lives
of many. But have we ever asked ourselves where the coffee that we daily
consume actually comes from and the journey it takes to reach our cup?
Tukia coffee is also set up as an initiative to raise awareness about coffee among people. Beside its taste and aroma, the freshness of coffee, knowing its origin and the path that one needs to take, from being cultivated to our cup, also matters!
The idea of Tukia coffee is based on a social concept trying to tackle the long coffee chain and its unfair global margin distribution. Raising awareness about ethically traded coffee is one of our missions. Your cup of coffee can make a global change!
Ethiopian population is estimated to be 90+ million from which coffee sustains the livelihood of 15 million people. Coffee is vital to the culture and socioeconomic life of the people. The Ethiopian economy is highly dependent on coffee as it contributes more than 25% of the country’s foreign exchange earnings. The best quality green coffee bean from Ethiopia is usually exported on a bestselling day for not more than 6 dollars per 1 kilo( 2.2 pounds). 1 kilo of coffee can produce as much as 90+ cups. This amount is distributed between all parties that are involved in the coffee industry; starting from farmers who grow coffee, to processors that wash and remove the skin of the coffee cherry, to transporters that bring the coffee from Ethiopian coffee growing regions to the capital of Addis Ababa, and exporters who pack and export coffee in containers from Djibouti Port to many destinations all over the world. Our research suggests that once the green coffee bean reaches its destination and finally to roasters, the coffee is sold in a range between 21 – 45 US dollars depending on the market region. We believe this distribution is unfair for the country that produces the coffee, thus we are working toward a goal where a fair distribution to all involved; all over the world can be achieved.
Tukia coffee is not only grown and cultivated in coffee’s birth place, but also roasted and packed in Ethiopia. While drinking Tukia coffee, you can enjoy the authentic taste of coffee and be part of the African story that promotes products that are fully made in Africa.
About Roasting
The freshness of coffee is one of the most important things that contribute to an excellent cup of coffee. There are many factors that contribute to coffee quality. One of them is roasting, which is a key to the final taste of coffee.
