This coffee is processed at the Halu Beriti Washing Station in the village of Beriti, located in the Gedeo zone region between the towns of Yirga Cheffe & Gedeb. The washing station was established in 2014 & processes the coffee of 750 small-holder farmers.
The farmers grow coffee on very small plots of land along with their own food crops. These are high-altitude farms with fertile soil & mild temperatures that are perfect for growing quality coffee.
Once the coffee is harvested it is delivered to the coffee washing station where the cherries are sorted for any that are over or under-ripe, then dried on raised beds for 14-21 days.
