Ethiopia Gora Kone Natural

This coffee comes from the noteworthy Gora Kone washing station located in the famed Sidamo region of Ethiopia. Gora Kone receives and processes the coffee cherries from approximately 700 to 800 smallholder farmers. The majority of the farms are family-owned and exist on plots of land no bigger than three hectares. Most of the farms utilize wanza and acacia trees to provide shade for the coffee trees. During harvest season, from November to January, the farm workers handpick their coffee cherries and deliver them to the washing station for processing. For Natual processed coffees, the coffee cherries are spread out on raised beds with nets on the bottom to dry slowly for several weeks. The dried cherries are turned over frequently to ensure even drying and moisture levels in the sun. The cherries are covered with tarps in the hottest part of the day and also at the end of the night when temperatures cool down. We are proud and excited to present this fantastic Ethiopian offering from Gora Kone. Enjoy!
