Join us at for a special evening celebrating Operation Cherry Red through film, conversation, music, and coffee.

For years, visits to Tibebu's farm in Chelchele have been among the highlights of our time in Ethiopia. This summer, we're bringing Tibebu and his son Abebayehu to Europe for the very first time. Something that feels just as special as the project itself.

During our most recent visit, we filmed a documentary about Operation Cherry Red and the smallholder farmers behind it. Some of the most memorable moments came during conversations with Tibebu on his farm overlooking Chelchele. This screening will mark the first time that Tibebu and Abebayehu see the finished film themselves.

Following the screening, join Tibebu, Abebayehu, Trabocca founder Menno Simons, and MOK founder Jens Crabbe for a conversation about the origins of Operation Cherry Red, the realities of coffee production in Ethiopia, and the relationships that have shaped the project over the years.

The evening takes place at the newly opened MOK Studio, the home of one of Europe's most admired specialty coffee roasters and a long-standing Trabocca partner. Honest, remarkable, and uncompromising, has built its reputation around showcasing exceptional coffees with clarity and purpose. Including Tibebu's coffee.

Expect Ethio-jazz on vinyl through MOK's custom sound system, a selection of coffees, wines and beers, food by Ach, and plenty of time to connect.
