Derara Daye Bensa
Background
"Derara" means flower rising in Sidamic—an image of growth, renewal, and the quiet unfolding of something meaningful. In Uraga, Guji, that meaning feels close to the land itself: coffee cherries ripening on highland plots, tended by generations of farming families for whom coffee is both livelihood and legacy.
Like its name, Derara is a reminder that coffee, too, is something that rises—from small plots in the highlands to the cup, carrying with it the care and tradition of the community that grew it.
Community Lot
