Farm to Shore: “The Story Behind the Cup”
Approximately 2500 farmers in southwestern highlands of Ethiopia bring their coffee cherries to the Wush Wush washing station to be processed. In fact, this region in the southwestern highlands of Ethiopia is where our favorite beverage gets its name.
This coffee is selectively harvested, then hand sorted at the washing station before being subjected to a float tank to isolate the higher density cherries from the lower density cherries. After being drained, the cherries are taken to drying tables positioned under a shaded mesh canopy. It took close to 30 days to dry this particular natural lot.
