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 offers them purchase prices that are 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.

Happy coffee farmers first pick coffee cherries from the trees and then pour them into pools filled with water. Due to different ripeness levels causing varying 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 round.

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

Next, the coffee beans with remaining mucilage enter the fermentation stage (fermenting with microorganisms in water or in the air). After fermentation is complete, the beans with parchment skin enter washing channels to be thoroughly rinsed. Once washed clean comes 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 skin is removed and they're ready for sale!
