Founder's Journey: Abbi Iticha
Embarking on a journey from the tranquil village of Gaacii in Western Oromia, Gimbi, Ethiopia, Abbi Iticha found inspiration in simplicity. Shaped by a childhood without electric light and tap water, Abbi witnessed the creation of Daadhii, a honey wine crafted with humble ingredients—honey, water, and Gesho/hops.
Heritage and Expertise
Rooted in non-written instructions from Abbi's mother and skills inherited from a grandmother, Daadhii encapsulates generational wisdom. Abbi's exposure to these traditions became a cherished ritual during family gatherings, evolving into a timeless recipe enriched by familial knowledge.
Passion into Business: Abbi's Vision
Motivated by the encouragement of family and friends, particularly inspired by her youngest son, Ebissa, Abbi turned a personal passion into a thriving business. Daadhii, under Abbi Iticha's guidance, stands as a testament to dedication, ancestral inspiration, and a desire to share a cherished tradition with a broader audience.
Crafting Daadhii
At Daadhii, our winemaking process begins with the highest quality Minnesota honey, meticulously blended with thoughtfully selected ingredients. This exquisite mixture undergoes a natural fermentation process, culminating in the creation of exceptionally flavored Daadhii.
Northeast Minneapolis Nectar
Embracing the Northeast Minneapolis breweries spirit, Daadhii is a distinctive local wine intricately woven into the community fabric.
