We have known and worked with Faisel, Adam and the rest of the team of Testi Exporters for many years. Faisel Abdosh is the owner of seven washing stations as well as the owner of the export business. He was joined by his cousin Adam in 2014. Adam used to live in Texas and he moved to Ethiopia to be involved in the family’s growing business. Testi offers coffees at different quality and price levels, including the specialty coffees we source. A few of Faisel’s washing stations produce the specific profiles we are after, and they offer a wide selection of samples for cupping in our Addis lab which ensures we have access to a good selection.

Testi is only involved in coffee as they believe focus is essential to achieve excellence. When asked about their efforts and strategies to ensure quality, Adam said they have a laser sharp focus on each block of their operation, “thus we know nothing goes wrong and we have a great chance to make improvements.”

Faisel was exposed to the coffee industry at a young age, he has close relatives who are involved in coffee farming. When asked why speciality coffee, Adam said it was because he likes the challenge. If people tell him something can’t be done, he is even more motivated to achieve it.
