01 / The land Guji, Ethiopia
Before the cup, there is a forest.
Suke Quto Farm · A landscape that gives this coffee its character.
1,800–2,200 mAbove sea level. Beneath the canopy.
In the Guji highlands, coffee and forest share the same ground. After fires damaged the surrounding land, Tesfaye Bekele saw a way to help it regenerate: grow coffee beneath native shade trees, creating a livelihood that gave the forest a future. Suke Quto grew from that conviction.
Tesfaye Bekele · Founder, Suke Quto Farm
02 / The people
One vision. Generations of possibility.
Tesfaye’s work is rooted in a simple understanding: the future of this land and the future of its people belong together.
More than 150 neighboring families grow coffee alongside him. They tend small farms of their own, with vegetables and cattle beside the coffee, and bring their ripe cherries to his washing station. Every bag begins with their work.
Good coffee begins long before the first pour.
03 / What grows alongside
A place to grow. A future to share.
Exceptional coffee never exists in isolation. Around Suke Quto, its story reaches beyond the farm, into the lives and hopes of the wider community.
The school at Suke Quto, Ethiopia.
Learning, close to home
A school. A shared investment.
The village school began as one mud-walled room, where children sat on the floor. Tesfaye poured a cement floor and, with buyers of his coffee, began a project to renew local schools—supporting a new wing and library at Kurume and new classrooms at Suke.
It is a chapter in this origin’s history that we are proud to share, and a reminder to look beyond what is in the cup.
That is the promise at United Endodontics, the dental specialty practice behind Deep Root Coffee. We chose Suke Quto’s coffee because it is rooted in the same two things we are: community and excellence.
Rooted in Excellence
At United Endodontics, our work is judged by the dentists who trust us with their patients. At Suke Quto, coffee earns its premium by meeting the importer’s quality standard. Deep Root brings that same respect for precision and care to every small-batch roast.
Rooted in Community
At Suke Quto, coffee helps a community look after itself: a forest replanted, farming families earning a living, a school renewed. We try to practice the same way at home—rooted in our community, where every patient is a person and never a number.
Our next chapter, closer to home. A local giving program is planned; partner and contribution details are still being developed.
You do not need to be a patient to enjoy Doc’s Blend. Coffee purchases are independent of patient referrals and care at United Endodontics.
