Vivid notes of berry jam, black cherry, and apricot, complemented by a complex finish of dark cocoa and vanilla, all wrapped in a rich, full-bodied mouthfeel
The Tokuma Group Blend represents the shared work of a remarkable circle of smallholder farmers in Western Ethiopia's Agaro region. The Tokuma producers first came together informally to exchange agronomy practices and support each other in marketing their coffee. Today, they've grown into a formal collective, united by their commitment to quality, innovation, and transparency.
This blend brings together lots from four Tokuma members: Mensur Abahika, Nesru Aba Nura, Mohammed Aba Nura, and Biya Faris. Each farmer manages cultivation and processing on their own land, ensuring full traceability from farm to cup. The coffees are dried slowly on raised beds for around three weeks - a patient approach that yields 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 licences and sell directly, bypassing the traditional ECX system that once obscured farm-level identity. Tokuma's farmers have seized this opportunity, showcasing the unique character of their coffees while securing fairer compensation for their work.
Osito Coffee has partnered with the Tokuma group for more than six years, supporting their journey from a close-knit circle of friends to a leading force in Jimma specialty coffee. This blend embodies that evolution - celebrating both the individual talents of its members and the collective strength of the group.
