Estamos emocionados de expandir el Programa Buen Café (GCP) para 2024 en asociación con .cafe, APG y el estado de Puebla.
Good Coffee Program es un camino para los pequeños productores que desean conocer el valor de lo que producen y construir relaciones más directas y de largo plazo con tostadores internacionales. Es una forma diferente de vender, que requiere más paciencia y planificación, pero que paga precios en función de la calidad en taza. Si te tomas en serio la calidad, te invitamos a participar.

ETHIOPIA 2024 HARVEST PREVIEW 🇪🇹
C2C Sourcing Team: Introducing Asnake Nigat
//
Of all of the unions in Ethiopia, none has had such an outsized impact on a region’s perceived quality potential as quickly as Kata Muduga. When we started working in Ethiopia, in 2014, Kata Muduga didn’t exist yet; the then-semi-obscure cooperatives in Agaro—those that existed back then—all exported through the massive Oromia Union. They’d been organized as part of a Technoserve project based in Jimma and, with financing assistance and technical support, built washing stations and garnered reputations for quality. In 2016, the cooperatives established a new Union to better serve their needs, Keta Muduga, and hired Asnake Nigat as their general manager.
In December of last year, we visited the Union’s offices in Agaro en route to the Kenissa Cooperative and spent a few hours with Asnake. Asnake's background in quality management runs deep: before joining the Union at its inception in 2016, he was part of Technoserve’s project in Western Ethiopia and, with Moata Raya, our sourcing lead in Ethiopia, organized, trained and advised these cooperatives. Asnake's skill, experience and talent for fostering smallholder economic welfare through promotion of quality is apparent in Kata Muduga's success.
We're thrilled to welcome Asanake onto the Crop to Cup team full time ahead of the 2023-2024 harvest, where he'll manage our activities in Western Ethiopia.

MRS. GEMEDECH FULASA, Yirgacheffe Idedo, SNNPR, Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Last year, we imported our first coffee from a woman-owned single farm in Ethiopia from Mrs. Gemedech Fulasa—whose farm in the Idedo region of Yirgacheffe sits at an elevation of 2050 meters.
While land inheritance in the Gedeo culture typically goes to male children, Mrs. Gemedech is an only child; when her father passed away in 2011, she inherited his 4.5 hectare coffee farm and now shines as one of the few woman coffee farmers—and one of the farmers producing the highest quality—in Yirgacheffe.
A mix of Wolisho, Dega and Kurume landraces grow in a regenerative agroforestry at Mrs. Gemedech’s farm under the canopy of fruit and food staples. Fallen leaves and coffee pulp hauled from local mills are the main source of compost. Enset trees (false Banana) across the farm collect water from the rainy season inside their trunks and release it to the ground during the dry season. This helps the soils retain moisture all year round. According to Mrs. Gemedech, she does not use inorganic fertilizers or pesticides, and, since she processes her harvest using the natural/sundried process, her environmental waste and impact are minimal.
The liberalization of the Ethiopian coffee industry in 2018 enabled this relationship—which is a model for the region. By exporting directly through her own export license, Mrs. Gemedech is able to receive 88% of the FOB export price, resulting in substantially increased income compared to the conventional model of selling cherry to ECX or private washing stations.
In the cup ☕️: Malbec, lavender, grape, dark plum, dried blackberry, francencense. 87.5

Coffee has been one of the big—and specific—requests coming from the front lines in Ukraine. We invite home roasters and commercial roasters to join the effort by sending us your roasted coffee that we will consolidate and ship to Ukraine in October.
We work with Ukraine Recovery, who distributes food and medical provisions to defense forces in Ukraine. UR brings both personal connections and logistical expertise through their NYC and Ukraine-based restaurant supply companies.
If you'd like to contribute, we're looking for whole bean and/or ground coffee (medium or dark roasts preferred) of any package size (retail bags or wholesale 5lb bags or re-used burlap sacks lined with a food-grade liner). Sending both whole bean and ground options will allow UR to provide coffee to both larger commissaires with grinders and smaller units making coffee in the field.
We can accept any size donation. We'll consolidate and palletize contributions at Crop to Cup and Showroom Coffee’s warehouse in Brooklyn and deliver them to .
If you don’t have extra greens on hand and .coffee can donate green coffee to any roaster of any size to roast and ship back to us (while supplies last). Just ask us to add free greens to your existing Crop to Cup or Showroom order (or email [email protected] to pick them up at our Brooklyn warehouse).
We ask that your contributions reach us by October 14th, latest. Please ship your greens to:
