Wote Konga is a coffee-producing area located within the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia's Gedeo Zone. The coffee produced here is the result of the collective efforts of hundreds of smallholder farmers who cultivate coffee in small garden plots.

History

Historically, the Yirgacheffe region was primarily known for washed coffees, but in the last decade, producers in the Wote Konga area have increasingly focused on high-quality natural processing. These coffees are now graded through the Ethiopian Commodities Exchange (ECX) system, with many lots achieving Grade 1 status.
