Origin Story

This batch of Yirgacheffe was produced at the Kebel Aricha processing station, where approximately 650-700 smallholder coffee farmers deliver their ripe coffee cherries for processing in exchange for cash.

Washing Process

The happy coffee farmers first pick coffee cherries from the trees and then pour them into pools filled with water. Due to different densities caused by varying maturity levels of coffee cherries, overripe and underripe cherries along with some leaves and twigs will float on the surface, while sufficiently ripe cherries will sink to the bottom. Naturally, this method screens out coffee cherries that pass the first test.

The selected ripe coffee cherries then enter the depulping machine to remove the skin and pulp.

Next, the coffee beans with remaining mucilage undergo the fermentation stage (interacting with microorganisms in water or air). After fermentation is complete, the beans with parchment are washed clean in channels. Once cleaned, they enter the drying stage, where the moisture content of the coffee beans is maintained at around 12% as much as possible. They are then packed in jute bags and left to rest for about 2-3 months of bean conditioning to stabilize their quality. Finally, the parchment is removed and they're ready for sale!

About Project Origin

Sasa Sestic, the 2015 World Barista Champion, launched a green bean sourcing project called Project Origin three years ago with his business team ONA Coffee. This project directly works with coffee farmers in poor countries and regions, improving their production conditions and offering them purchase prices 20% higher than fair trade prices.

The initial motivation for this project also included strengthening the connection between roasters and coffee farmers, while guiding farmers to cultivate high-quality coffee beans. To date, Sasa has established relationships with coffee growers from eight countries, including Brazil, Panama, India, Ethiopia, El Salvador, and Costa Rica.
