STORY BEHIND THE CUP
This coffee comes from smallholder farmers in Gedeb, a high-altitude district in Ethiopia’s renowned Yirgacheffe region within the Gedeo zone. The area is celebrated for producing some of the world’s most sought-after coffees.
Coffee is grown under natural shade from trees like zigba, kererro, and enset, alongside food crops such as potato and soybeans. Ripe cherries are handpicked and delivered to local washing stations for processing.
At the station, cherries are sorted by density, pulped, and fermented for 48–72 hours. After washing and flotation to remove defects, the coffee is dried on raised African beds for 8–15 days, with regular turning to ensure even drying. The parchment is dried to a target moisture content of around 11.5%. This precise process highlights the clarity, balance, and quality characteristic of Gedeb coffees.
