Oromia is the region where coffee first originated and where coffee usage first began. The region is characterized by its unique native vegetation and tropical climate conducive for coffee cultivation.
Oromia Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (OCFCU) is a small farmer owned cooperative union established in 1999. It works exclusively in the Oromia Regional State which accounts for more than 65 % of the country’s total coffee growing land. The cooperative is made up of 405 cooperatives with over 400,000 members. Members of the cooperatives are growers, processors, and suppliers of high-quality Arabica coffee for direct export.
OCFCU exports traceable, fair trade, organic, UTZ, and Rain Forest Alliance certified coffees. The fair trade premium and support from roasters are invested in social projects like schools, health posts, clean water , bridges etc.
OFCU pays 70% of its net profit back to the member cooperatives who in turn pay 70% of their profit to member farmers. This method of compensation has enabled OCFCU to grow from 34 primary cooperatives representing 22,691 household farmers to 405 primary cooperatives representing more than 400,000 household farmers. Funds retained by the cooperatives have been used to build a cupping lab for quality control purposes as well as build a massive processing plant responsible for job creation of 2,000 seasonal workers on a yearly basis. In addition, the cooperative has created its own member bank that provides much needed pre-harvest financing and insurance options to cover coffee against loss.

The coffee is superb in taste and texture. Price per weight is excessive especially for someone who drinks a lot of coffee.
Wow!
Amazing flavor and aroma. Beats what I thought was a good quality coffee from Costco.
