This lot is the result of the dedication of the 500 smallholder farmers from Guji region deliver their cherry to Hadeso washing station.
Due to the size of most plots, coffee is typically handpicked by landowners and their family.
All coffee is selectively hand-harvested before being delivered to Guji Hadeso washing station. Here coffee is sorted to remove damaged or underripe cherries. They are then pulped typically within 6 to 8 hours after harvesting to prevent further natural fermentation. After pulping, coffee is fermented in tanks for 36 to 48 hours, where water is frequently replaced.
Once fermentation is complete the parchment is thoroughly washed and is then graded in washing channels, until mucilage is completely removed.
After washing, the coffee is delivered to raised beds to dry under parabolic shade net for 5 to 7 days.
