As people pursue the traceability of coffee raw beans, individual "single origins" have been discovered one by one by coffee hunters worldwide. Therefore, in 2012, Gedeb, with about 300 member farmers, independently established the "Gedeb Cooperative."

Gedeb village was the first village area to be separated independently, and many small farmers were also members of the original Woka Cooperative, so their coffee production skills are unquestionable.

The Gedeb Cooperative is known as the last pure land of Yirgacheffe, so the green bean processing methods used are all very traditional processing methods (washed and natural processing).

Today, our editor will share the roasting curve of washed Yirgacheffe Gedeb. To showcase the unique character of these beans, the barista at FrontStreet Coffee has roasted three different curves for comparison.

The Gedeb Cooperative is located in the Woka production area at the southeastern end of Yirgacheffe. It was originally part of the Woka Cooperative under the Yirgacheffe Union YCFCU.
