Information: Wete Ambela Coffee is a startup founded in 2018 that benefited from the ease of the ECX regulation. The changes in ECX rules in 2017 made obtaining an export license that allowed direct trade under the system relatively easier. The first Cup of Excellence competition in 2020 excited buyers worldwide, which led many producers and suppliers to start their export businesses.
Mekuria has solid connections among smallholders and access to quality coffee over the years. There is one thing that he has always valued to build a trusting relationship with producers. One of the most important things he has done to build trust with producers; he create a good living environment for the smallholders.
There are three main members of Wete Ambela Coffee, Mekuria Mergia, his wife Enatenesh Desalegn, and Elias Yifter. They have an office on the fourth floor of a building in the center of the capital city Addis Ababa. They have two washing stations, one at Wote Konga in Yirgachefe and another at Hambela in Guji, so the name Wete Ambela is a combination of the two places.
