Ethiopian Coffee Cultivation

Ethiopia offers diverse coffee cultivation methods: from vast wild coffee forests and semi-developed lands to traditionally managed small plots and modern plantations. Approximately 50% of coffee is grown at altitudes above 1,500 meters. Based on these four different production methods, Ethiopia can be divided into nine major coffee regions, including five specialty coffee zones: Sidamo, Yirgacheffe, Harrar, Limu, and Lekempti, along with four commercial bean regions: Djimmah, Illubabor, Tepi, and Bebeka. Each region employs either natural or washed processing methods, with different processing techniques affecting the flavor profile. Currently, natural processing accounts for about 80%, while washed processing represents approximately 20%.

Oromia Region

The Oromia region is one of the world's coffee origins. The indigenous Oromo people were among the first in the world to use coffee as food, dating back to the 5th century AD. Oromia is situated approximately between 3°-15°N latitude and 33°-40°E longitude. The region is world-renowned for its primitive plant species and biodiversity. This is where coffee was born. For the local Oromo people, coffee serves as their beverage, their food, an important component of their trade, their "stimulant," and also a vital tool for maintaining peace.

Processing Method

This micro-batch coffee begins with hand-selected 100% red cherries. The cherries are then processed using Agared equipment to remove the skin and pulp. The beans, still with their mucilage, ferment for 36 hours in fermentation tanks, followed by 4 hours of soaking. They are then placed on 30×1.8 meter drying beds. After drying and hulling, the beans undergo manual selection to achieve Grade 1 quality, then packed in GrainPro bags with external jute sack protection.
