Profile image · identity and location not independently authenticated
This is a research profile, not an independently conducted farm visit. Producer and coffee relationships are shown only when the records agree. Check the research sources below for supporting evidence.
The story
The farm is located on land in the Gomma region of Agaro that was once dense jungle and served as a hideout for the brothers' father, Abalulesa, a guerrilla fighter resisting the Derg regime. Following his death in 1977 and a subsequent government amnesty and reconciliation program, the land was granted to his sons, Musa, Mustefa, and Gugu. Musa Abalulesa has been a partner with importers since 2016 and previously won a national coffee competition in 2006.
Innovations
Musa moved from natural-only production into washed coffee after a 2006 competition and the acquisition of a depulper. He has reinvested in controlled drying infrastructure, a larger warehouse, direct export, and a seed business operated with his brother Mustefa.
Published coffees linked to this farm
For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.
Research sources & verification
These source links were recorded for this farm profile. They document its research trail; a linked source is not, by itself, confirmation of every farm, producer, coffee lot or photo identity.
