Daanisa farmers group is a group of 44 farmers who deliver their cherries to Dambi Uddo washing station. The name comes from the local name for an umbrella-shaped native tree. The daanisa tree has medicinal properties and is used for a wide range of construction purposes. Perhaps most importantly, it is used to shade the region’s coffee trees.
Dambi Uddo Agro Industry founded Dambi Uddo washing station in 2019. Located in Sukkee Qutto in Guji, the high altitudes that often reach above 2,000 meters above sea level provide ideal conditions for cultivating high-quality coffees. This lot is the product of 44 farmers, called Daanisa farmers group, that Dambi Uddo identified who are producing superb coffees and delivering them to the station. Their cherries are processed separately to maintain traceability.
Farmers selectively handpick cherries and deliver them to the washing station. Here, the coffee is sorted to ensure that only the ripest cherries are processed.
This natural coffee is floated in water first to remove any underweight or damaged beans and any debris. After cleaning, the cherries are carried to raised beds. They are raked regularly and visually handsorted to remove any damaged cherry that may have made it through the initial sorting.
After a few days, washing station staff will increase the thickness of the layer to slow the drying and stabilize humidity. The total drying time can take up to three weeks under cloudy conditions, or two weeks should the weather be sunny.
