ABOUT:

Produced in Ethiopia’s Gedio region, this naturally processed Yirgacheffe is handled with close attention during every stage of processing.

When ripe cherries are delivered to the mill, they are dried on raised African beds and turned continuously—day and night—for the first 48 hours to ensure even evaporation of moisture from the fruit. This careful management helps promote consistency and cleanliness in a process that can otherwise be prone to mold and uneven air circulation. Meticulous drying protocols are essential in natural processing, where airflow, pacing, and cherry integrity directly influence overall quality.
