N.m - Terroir

The washing station ofDimtu Wate, located in the Hambela district of Guji, Ethiopia, receives cherries from approximately 600 smallholder farmers in villages (kebeles) such as Buku Sayisa and Dimtu. Among the Gujoostations, Wate is at the highest altitude, and only Grade 1 (G1) coffees are produced there, with the harvest taking place from December to early February.

N.m - Processing method

When talking about coffee processing methods, this brings us to post-production: after the coffee cherries have been picked, the cooperative is faced with a choice, whether to leave the cherry pulp on or remove it before drying.

For this coffee, the "washed" process involves the cherries being mechanically depulped and then fermented in water for a certain period of time (here 36 hours) before the remaining film is removed.

The beans are then placed on drying beds for 7 to 8 days in order to reach a moisture content of between 10 and 12%.
