Mofa
Background
Mofa is a coffee station located at an altitude of 1800 to 2000 meters above sea level, named after the nearby kebele, Mofa. The word "Mofa" comes from the Sidamic language, meaning "to assemble something and put it aside (hide it)," reflecting the area's cultural heritage. Coffee is sourced from several surrounding villages, including Sagara, Silinga, Hache, Huro Tibiro, Ejersa, Wacho, and Mofa itself. Known for its early harvest season, the station is supported by 740 dedicated coffee suppliers and farmers. With its lower elevation, rich tradition, and strong farming network, Mofa plays a key role in the region’s coffee production.
