Harvested in the Worka Chelbesa kebele within the Gedea zone of Ethiopia, this coffee represents the hallowed tradition of Ethiopian washed processing. The smallholder farmers, deeply rooted in their coffee heritage, manage a few hectares where heirloom Wolisho and Dega varietals flourish amid semi-forest vegetation. Led by Negusse Debela, the local processing station enacts a meticulous regimen: pulping, a 72-hour fermentation in ceramic tanks, and a precise drying sequence, all contributing to the coffee's bright and clean finish. This careful curating stands testament to the community’s dedication to coffee quality and heritage.

From Round Hill Roastery
The cherries were manually harvested and delivered to the processing station, which was built in 2019 and operated by Negusse Debela. The coffee was pulped at the mill and fermented for 72 hours in ceramic tanks. The use of ceramic here lends itself to faster fermentation due to heat retention, to give a cleaner finish in the cup. It was then washed, sorted by density then soaked for a final 2 hours. After a period of around 10 days drying time, a final manual sorting takes place.
