Growth comes from the lessons learnt through many experiences. This statement holds true for us here at Cedar not just in the present but also through our past experiences. We can honestly say that we wouldn't have been here without the mentors before us. This past year we spent time listening and learning from coffee professionals both locally and internationally as they shared their stories and experience through the coffee industry. 

This sparked the idea of a new concept we've been working on. We present to you Cedar Chats. This is a platform where we invite special guests, whether it be locally or internationally to share their knowledge and experience with the coffee community. Whether you are an experienced coffee professional or just love drinking it; all is welcome. It may just spark your journey as a coffee professional or answer your burning questions. 

Meet Kenean Dukamo, Deputy CEO of Daye Bensa Coffee, a renowned Ethiopian coffee company. With a passion for empowering farmers and promoting specialty coffee, Kenean drives growth through innovative processing methods, quality control, and sustainability. Under his leadership, Daye Bensa has won several awards, including the Cup of Excellence. We have the pleasure of welcoming him this Sunday morning to hear his journey and perspectives from a farmer as well as a coffee professional. 

Join us from 10 am - 12 am, this is a social event so expect a chilled morning having good conversations over snacks and drinks.
