Coffee Farming is Inherited, Not Just Learned

In Ethiopia, coffee is not planted—it’s passed down.

Our farmers cultivate heirloom varieties on small plots surrounded by shade trees, often using ancestral methods that prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and harmony with nature.

We work directly with these growers—not through brokers—to ensure their wisdom is preserved and their labor fairly rewarded.

Coffee Processing

The Art of Post-Harvest

Processing defines flavor. We treat it as a craft—not just a step. Whether washed or natural, every batch is handled with precision to preserve the distinct character of its origin.

Each process is fine-tuned for cup clarity, complexity, and longevity—because great green coffee starts at origin, but quality is locked in after harvest.

Our Processing Methods

Fully Washed (Wet Process)

Cherries are pulped, fermented, washed, and sun-dried. Produces bright, clean profiles with layered acidity.

Honey Process (Experimental)

Mucilage is left on while drying. Balances the clarity of washed with the sweetness of naturals.

Natural (Dry Process)

Whole cherries are dried slowly under the sun. This intensifies body and boosts fruit-forward flavor.

Anaerobic Fermentation (Limited Edition)

Cherries are sealed in oxygen-free tanks. Controlled fermentation produces wild, juicy, and complex flavors.

Quality at Every Stage

  • Cherry Sorting: Only ripe cherries make the cut
  • Hand-Turned Drying Beds: Prevent mold and ensure uniform drying
  • Moisture Testing: Precise control to avoid defects
  • Storage & Conditioning: Aged in jute bags in cool, dry warehouses
  • Traceability: Each lot is tracked from tree to export bag
  • Washing stations in Guji, Yirgacheffe, and Sidama
  • Raised drying beds with shade netting
