Main Lane Coffee Roasters

Roaster: Sebastian von Spalding

Khalid inherited his plantations from his father, who inherited them from his father. Coffee here is an heirloom that they take good care of. His grandfather collected wild coffee plants in the Choché forest, a few kilometres away, to develop his first plantations. Since then, the growing demand for Jimma coffee has helped to consolidate the family plantations, and Khalid is happy to continue these traditions. Given the attention he pays to his farm and the site’s exceptional environment, and the efforts he makes to constantly improve the quality of his produce, it’s easy to understand the deep connection he has with this area. He hopes that his 3 children, who currently live and go to school in the nearby town of Agaro, will also be able to enjoy coffee growing in the future.
