Harvested: January 2020
This coffee comes from the washing station in Adado, near the village of Shara in the district of Guanga. The washing station, and also the titel for this coffee, is named after the local tribe, “Adado”. Coffees in Ethiopia are typically traceable to the washing station level, where smallholder farmers - many of whom own less then 1/2 hectare of land, or as little as 1/8 hectare on average - deliver cherries by weight to recieve payment at a market rate. The coffee is sorted and processed into lots without retaining information about whose coffee harvest is in whish bag or which lot. This makes it a bit hard to trace it all the way to the farmer as the washing station is as close as one get.

The Gondo factory is operated by the New Kiriti Farmers Cooperative Society. Coffee cherries are picked and brought to the factory that same day for selection and separation, as hand sorting happens before depulping begins. The ripe cherry is processed using freshwater from the local Kananahu stream, and the coffee is dried under full sun. Coffee in Kenya is typically traceable down to the factory or mill level; most farmers own very small farms and grow other crops besides coffee as well, which means they rely on a central processing unit for sale and processing of their coffee. The factory and cooperative sort, weigh and issue payment for the harvest and then mix up the cherries with the rest of that days deliveries.
