Coffee Origin Details

This batch of Yirgacheffe was produced at the Kebel Aricha processing station, where approximately 650-700 smallholder coffee farmers from nearby areas deliver their ripe coffee cherries for processing in exchange for cash. After the processing station selects usable cherries, they are placed directly on drying racks for sun exposure. During the first few days of drying, the cherries are turned every 2-3 hours to prevent over-fermentation. After four to six weeks of sun drying, workers remove the outer fruit pulp by machine depending on weather and temperature conditions, then transport the beans to Addis Ababa for storage. Typically, sun-dried beans are stored as parchment beans until export, when they are hulled to ensure green bean quality. This batch of sun-dried Aricha was rated G1 (Grade 1) by the ECX - the highest grade - demonstrating excellence in green bean appearance, consistency, freshness, dry aroma, and flavor. If you love bright acidity and rich berry flavors, you absolutely cannot miss this!
