Sourced from the renowned Gedeo Zone, specifically the Yirgacheffe District's Konga Kebele in Southern Ethiopia, this exceptional coffee thrives in an ideal growing environment.
This coffee is produced by 800 small-scale farmers who primarily cultivate heirloom varieties. These dedicated farmers deliver their cherries directly to the processing station. Each producer owns a 2-hectare farm, contributing to a substantial total cultivated area of 1,600 hectares.
These farms are nestled at altitudes ranging from 1,800 to 2,000 m.a.s.l where the fertile, well-draining, red-brown soil provides optimal conditions for coffee cultivation. The region experiences an average annual rainfall of 1,800-2,000mm and consistent temperatures between 20-25°C, ensuring uniform fruit development.
The coffees are shade-grown, allowing for slow maturation and complex flavor development. The harvest period goes from mid-October to the end of January.
After coffee reception at the station, coffee cherries are sun-dried on raised beds for approximately 15-21 days. To ensure consistent drying, the cherries are continuously raked throughout the day. During the hottest hours, from 12 pm to 3 pm, the beds are covered to protect them from intense sun exposure. Additionally, the beds are carefully covered at night to shield the cherries from rainfall.
