Wubit Bekele
General Manager
Wubit was born in Nekempte, a major coffee town in Western Ethiopia. After growing up in Addis Ababa she graduated from Mizan Tepi Univiserity. Immediately she pursued a career in the coffee sector. After working for one of Ethiopia’s largest exporters for many years, she realized the potential of the industry and set up her own company.
Wubit’s passion for coffee stems from two major reasons.
Firstly, as she began her career as a Q grade cupper, she is fascinated by the diversity of flavors within Ethiopian coffee.
Coffee, as a relationship-based industry, has enabled Wubit to visit many parts of her country. She frequently visits farmers and suppliers across Ethiopia and she is always excited to visit clients in their countries.
