Altitude: 2350 Masl
Variety: 74110, 74112, and 74158
Processing: Natural

Local farmers grow locally selected varieties 74110, 74112, and 74158, which were developed by the Jimma Agricultural Research Center (JARC) in the 1970s. Cherries are manually harvested before being taken to the processing station where they are hand sorted before being processed. The sorted cherries are then dried on raised beds where they are turned frequently until reaching their ideal humidity. All coffee is hand sorted a final time after drying before being prepared for export. The results in the cup are outstanding and this is definitely one of the most exciting coffees we tasted this year from Ethiopia.
