Depulping process: initiated within 6 to 8 hours after harvesting the cherries from the coffee trees. To prevent further natural fermentation.Fermentation process: We ferment the coffee in a fermentation tank 36-48 hours to loosen the mucilage.Washing process: the coffee parchment is washed in the water Channel by the staff team members at the washing station, until mucilage is removed.The way to determine the outcome1. seeing the clarity of water. Though out the washing process the cloudy water is replaced until it’s resulted in clear transparent water.2. The sound difference when pushing & pulling the coffee parchment in the water channel. A slight traction noise is noticed in the process which indicates a near completion.3. As simple as checking manually to feel for the slim/mucilage.Drying process – once Fermentation & washing is complete we layout the parchment on raised African beds under a parabolic shade net for 5-7 days depending on weather conditions. Once the moisture content is at 11 to 12 percent it's then relocated to nearby warehouse for storage.

The Farm
Gara Kogne Washing Station

Sitting at an impressive 2,020 meters above sea level, Gara Kogne produces exceptional natural coffees. The washing station currently employs around 200 workers, who process some 1.5 million coffee cherries each year. During harvest, this freshly picked coffee cherry is delivered daily by some 1,000 independent outgrowers to the kebele of Refisa, where Gara Kogne is located.The majority of the families that contribute to this lot farm organically on tiny plots of land, which average just 2–5 hectares in size. Coffee is their main cash crop and grows alongside food crops of corn, grain and bananas, under the shade of native Birbira, Wanza, and Acacia trees. The average elevation of the farms in this region is very high – around 1,950–2,150m above sea level – and this, combined region’s cool temperatures, is ideal for the slow ripening of coffee cherries, leading to denser beans and a sweeter, more complex cup profile.
