Our Story
Three generations of coffee excellence from the highlands of Sidama, Ethiopia
A Family Legacy of Excellence
Shaafamo Coffee is more than a brand—it's a family heritage rooted in the fertile highlands of Sidama, Ethiopia. For over three generations, our family has dedicated themselves to the art of growing exceptional coffee.
Our name, "Shaafamo," represents our commitment to purity and excellence. We believe that great coffee starts with respect—for the land, for traditional methods, and for the people who make it all possible.
Today, we continue this legacy, combining time-honored techniques with modern quality standards to bring you coffee that tells the story of its origin in every sip.
