Ethiopia is one of the world's leading coffee producers. About half of the coffee beans produced are consumed domestically. This time, I would like to take a closer look at how coffee is consumed in Ethiopia. Only a small portion of Ethiopian coffee beans are sold in Japan.

Galitebe handles two Ethiopian green coffee bean producers. Today, I would like to talk about one of them, the story with Habutam and the raw beans we handle. I remember eating injera together at a local restaurant, no, a cafeteria, when I first met Hubtam. Habtum didn't have a smartphone, he didn't even have an email address, let alone a social network. All communication is over the phone or in person. He always wears a checked shirt and picks me up in a truck.
