Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Wote Konga Washed Process

Region: Kebele Konga, Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia

This lot comes from a private washing station owner who operates a mill in Yirgacheffe and Guji Zones. This group does an exceptional job of managing the collection including separation, milling, and intensive hand-sorting.

Konga is the name of the town, or "Kebele", an area of Yirga Cheffe. Smallholder farmers from around the region deliver their coffee to the station where it is weighed, depulped, and dried before being delivered to Addis Ababa for export. After depulping the cherries, they ferment the coffee under water for 48 hours, then dry on raised beds for around 10 days.

The altitude of this station is 2054 meters above sea level and farms in the region top out around 2300 meters.

Konga promotes agronomical initiatives to the farmers they buy from, like tree stumping, the use of organic fertilizers, and more.
