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 at ONA Coffee. This project works directly with coffee farming families in impoverished countries and regions to improve their production conditions and provides them with purchase prices 20% higher than fair trade prices.

The original intention of this project also includes strengthening the connection between roasters and coffee farmers, and guiding coffee 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.

The Washing Process

Happy coffee farmers first pick the coffee cherries from the trees, then pour them into pools filled with water. Due to different ripeness levels causing different densities, overripe and underripe coffee cherries along with some leaves and twigs will float on the surface, while sufficiently ripe coffee cherries will sink to the bottom. Naturally, this method screens out coffee cherries that pass the first selection.

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

Next, the coffee beans with remaining mucilage enter the fermentation stage (fermenting through interaction with microorganisms in water or air). After fermentation is complete, the beans with parchment layer enter washing channels to be thoroughly rinsed. 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 into jute bags and left to rest for about 2-3 months to stabilize the green bean quality. Finally, the parchment layer is removed and they are ready for sale!
