What is score?

  • The SCA (Specialty Coffee Association) is the global body that sets the standards for specialty coffee. Their scoring system, based on a 100-point scale, evaluates coffees based on various factors like aroma, flavour, acidity, body, aftertaste, sweetness and balance. Coffees scoring 80+ are considered specialty grade, with those scoring 86+ representing the top tier of quality and complexity.

What is single origin?

  • Single origin means the coffee comes from one specific region, farm, or cooperative, rather than a blend from multiple places. This allows you to experience the unique characteristics of that area’s climate, soil, and processing methods.

What are tasting notes?

  • Tasting notes describe the natural flavours found in the coffee, such as chocolate, citrus, or floral tones. These are not added flavours but arise from the bean’s variety, growing conditions, and roasting process.

What is the processing method?

  • This refers to how coffee beans are removed from the cherry after harvesting, which influences their final taste.

Gedeb Halo Beriti Washing Station

Located in Gedeb, Yirgacheffe, the Gedeb Halo Beriti Washing Station processes coffee from smallholder farmers in the Chelbesa kebele. Sitting at elevations between 1,950 and 2,200 metres, the station benefits from Yirgacheffe’s fertile soils and high-altitude climate, which contribute to the coffee’s exceptional quality.

The washing station serves as a hub for growers from Chelbesa and the surrounding area, playing a vital role in bringing their harvests to market. Its location and the dedication of local farmers result in coffees with remarkable clarity and complexity.

Yirgacheffe

Idido Gersi washing station is located in Idido village, within the Yirgacheffe district, an area renowned for its exceptional coffee. The farmers here cultivate their crops at high altitudes, ranging from 1,900 to 2,200 meters above sea level, which is ideal for Arabica coffee production.

Yirgacheffe has built a distinguished reputation over the years, producing some of the most coveted microlots globally. The region’s combination of high elevation, fertile soil, reliable rainfall, and generations of local expertise contribute to the distinctive and refined quality of its coffees.

WASHED PROCESSING

The washed process involves removing the outer skin and fruit from the coffee cherries before fermentation. After the cherries are depulped, the beans are fermented for 8 to 72 hours, depending on the conditions, to remove the remaining mucilage. The beans are then washed in fresh water and dried to the desired moisture content. This method enhances the coffee's clean, bright flavour and clarity.
