Damo is a highland coffee station located at an altitude of 1900 to 2100 meters above sea level, sourcing its coffee from the lush areas of Bombe, Faficho, Shantawene, Shantagenet, and Shantahalata. The station is named after the nearby kebele, Damo—a Sidamic word that refers to a type of bee known for producing exceptionally sweet honey (ጣዝማ ማር). Historically, the area was home to many of these honey-producing bees, which inspired the name. With a strong network of 500 dedicated coffee suppliers and farmers, Damo station plays a key role in the region’s specialty coffee production.
