The Dumerso Processing Station is located in the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia.

Coffee from this area is widely loved for its bright acidity, clean flavor, and rich floral notes. These qualities stem not only from the regional climate and terroir but also from the unique character of the local indigenous coffee varieties.

Some 800 small farming families around Dumerso deliver their harvested cherries to this processing station. The station is run by a local family that, despite handling large production volumes, puts quality first and keeps excellent control over fruit ripeness and green bean standards.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

Yirgacheffe is a small town in Ethiopia's Gedeo zone, sitting at roughly 1,700-2,100 meters with coffee trees planted above 1,800 meters — among the highest coffee elevations on earth. Its unmistakable white floral character and lemon-citrus acidity made the name so famous that in 2010 the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange formally separated it from the Sidamo region, and Yirgacheffe became a household name in its own right.

Alongside this washed Dumerso lot, the FrontStreet Natural Red Cherry is another superb expression of the region. It uses only fully ripe, defect-free red cherries, float-sorted at the station and sun-dried on raised beds; for the first few days the cherries are turned every 2-3 hours to prevent uneven heating and over-fermentation, and after three to five weeks of drying the pulp is machine-scraped off before the beans rest in storage. Because the cherries dry whole, the cup keeps the classic Yirgacheffe profile while gaining natural-process tropical fruit: citrus acidity, juicy berry character, honey sweetness, and a smooth, creamy texture. Between the two, you can taste both sides of Yirgacheffe — washed clarity and natural richness — from the same storied terroir.
