The Tokuma producers first came together informally to exchange agronomy practices and support each other in marketing coffee. Today, they have grown into a formal collective, united by their commitment to quality, innovation, and transparency. This blend is composed of lots from multiple Tokuma members: Mensur Abahika, Nesru Aba Nura, Mohammed Aba Nura, and Biya Faris. Each farmer carefully manages cultivation and processing on their own land, ensuring excellent traceability. Coffees are dried slowly on raised beds for around three weeks, yielding sweetness, clarity, and expressive fruit character. The emergence of Tokuma reflects a broader shift in Ethiopian coffee. Regulatory changes have allowed more producers to obtain export licenses and sell directly, bypassing the traditional ECX system that once blurred farm-level identity. Tokuma farmers have seized this opportunity, highlighting the unique character of their coffees while securing better compensation for their work.
