Mrs.Worke Gadisa
Founder

In the rolling hills of Wollega, within the small village of Billo boshe, coffee farming is a way of life, a tradition passed down through generations. This is where our story begins, with a visionary woman named Worke Gadisa. For over 20 years, Worke has been a cornerstone of the local coffee trade, her keen eye for quality and dedication to her craft making her a respected figure in her community. Worke grew up surrounded by coffee trees, learning the secrets of cultivation and harvesting from her parents. Her journey started modestly, trading raw coffee beans to local buyers, ensuring that only the best beans made their way to market.
Over the years, Worke's reputation for excellence grew, and so did her ambitions. She dreamed of sharing Ethiopian coffee with the world, and now, that dream is becoming a reality. With Hawera Trading, she is preparing to export her carefully curated coffee beans, showcasing the rich, complex flavors that can only come from the hills of Wollega, Guji, Yirgacheffe, and Sidama. Worke oversees every step, from the selection of ripe coffee cherries to the drying and processing methods that bring out the best in each bean. Her dedication ensures that every batch of coffee we export is of the highest quality, a true representation of her heritage and passion.
But Worke’s vision goes beyond just quality coffee. Hawera Trading is deeply committed to its community and the environment. Worke believes in giving back to the village that has supported her throughout her journey. Through fair trade practices, she ensures that her workers are paid fairly and that the profits from Hawera Trading help improve the lives of those in Dano. Better education, healthcare, and infrastructure are just a few of the benefits her community has seen as a result of her efforts. Now, as Hawera prepares its coffee for export, we are filled with excitement. The company envisions a future where coffee lovers around the globe can experience the unique flavors of Ethiopian coffee, tasting the dedication and love that goes into every cup. We want to contribute to the world by providing not just coffee, but a story—a story of resilience, tradition, and the pursuit of excellence.
Worke’s journey from a small village trader to an international coffee exporter is a testament to her hard work and unwavering belief in the quality of her product. As you enjoy your cup of Hawera Trading coffee, take a moment to appreciate the journey it has taken. From the highlands of Ethiopia to your table, this coffee is more than a beverage—it is a bridge between cultures, a symbol of a woman’s dream, and a gift from the heart of Ethiopia to the world.
