Family History
Meet the family
The METAD story begins with our grandmother, Muluemebet Emiru, who became Africa’s first female pilot in 1934. After World War II, she was awarded farmland, lush with wild coffee trees, in the Harar and Sidamo regions. With our grandfather’s help, she transformed the Harar farmland into a private coffee estate, forever forging our family’s deep connection to the land and coffee cultivation.
