DWD operates several washing and drying stations in the Sidama region. The one from which Bombe coffee comes is located in the village of the same name, at an altitude of 1950 m. This station called Wax General Trading offers the possibility of offering washed, natural and anaerobically fermented coffees, all processed with the greatest care.
The cherries that are prepared here are collected from various small producers in neighboring villages.
Coffee cultivation is ancient in this region and integrated into a mixed farming system that allows farmers to diversify their income and ensure the harvest of food crops.
Producer Ato Dukale
Ato Dukale was born near Bensa, in the Sidama region, where his parents already had a coffee farm. At a very young age, he started to engage in small businesses in the region, such as sugar cane. But his interest quickly turned completely to coffee. He traveled extensively in his native region to collect a few bags from the various Sidama farmers. At the end of the 1980s, he built a first washing station in Daye Bensa, which he called "Awraja and his family." Awraja was the name of the department where he lived as a young man, a name used under the Derg but which has since disappeared. It was especially Ato Dukale's nickname at the time when he was a famous volleyball player and traveled the country with his team, under the colors of his district: Bensa Awraja!
Since then, its activity has prospered because the Dukale Wakayo Dakola company currently has 16 collection centers in the Sidama and Yirgacheffe regions. It is taken over by the sons of Ato Dukale who, with their father, put their rigor into producing high-quality coffees.Sidama terroir
The territories of the Sidama appellation are more than 500 km wide: the coffees therefore have very different profiles! Sidama is the name of the appellation but it is above all the name of the people of southern Ethiopia. Sidamo is a negative way that people from the North use to talk about the Sidama people of the South.
The appellation is divided into 4 areas simply distinguished by the letters A, B, C, D. Each of these four areas offers a specific cup profile. The Sidama A appellation, with its sweetness and notes of yellow fruits (apricot, peach) is the one that offers the typical Sidama / Sidamo profile.
Each is attached to a specific geographical area, which is based on administrative divisions. Thus, the Sidama A appellation extends over:
- the Guji zone which is made up of the districts (woreda) of Odo Shakisso, Uraga, Hambela, Kercha, Adola and Anassora.
- the Sidama zone which is made up of the districts of Bensa, Chiré, Aroressa.
