Description: This coffee comes from the Haro Wachu Washing Station in the Tibe Haro kebele (community) in Uraga, Guji. This is possibly the most famous region for coffee production in the world, and it isn’t without merit. The region is able to grow coffee at 2,000+ meters above sea level which allows for slow cherry maturation that leads to dense, high quality coffee. More than 500 small holder farmers deliver cherry to this station from their generationally owned farms that range between 1-2 hectares on average. Most farmers grow 74110 and 74112 varieties for their resistance to environmental factors while highlighting the regions typical cup profile. This station processes both special preparation coffees, and traditional washed coffees, like this one. The washed coffees here are first pulped and washed with running water upon delivery to the station. After this, coffee is then fermented for 48-72 hours before being taken to shaded drying beds where they begin drying for 3 days, protected from direct sunlight and then finished drying on traditional African drying beds until they reach 11.5% moisture content.
