FARM DESCRIPTION: Coffees are grown and harvested in small-holder farmers’ backyards (known as ‘garden coffee’) in the Yirgacheffe region. Cherries are taken to the washing station where small-holder lots are combined, and hand sorted to remove under- and over-ripe cherries. Cherries are dried on raised beds in full sun for 18-30 days to allow the beans to absorb the sweetness and fruitiness from the cherry pulp and skin. During drying cherries are regularly turned to ensure even drying and maintain clarity. On very hot days cherries are covered in plastic to control drying rate. Moisture content is reduced to 10-12%. Dried beans are then stored in the dried cherry pod for protection and to maximize sugar and fruit flavour absorption until milling and export preparation
To maintain freshness only whole beans are offered through delivery. For fresh ground coffee options please select local pickup and we will grind on request.
