About this coffee

This grade 1 washed microlot is from Worka Wuri wetmill in Gedeb, near Yirgacheffe. The mill processes cherries from around 650 local smallholder farmers who cultivate at elevations up to 2,100m. Worka Wuri washing station is located near Gedeb town, Gedeo zone, in the SNNP region of Southern Ethiopia. Over a number of years, the region has developed a distinguished reputation for fine coffees, producing some of the most sought-after microlots in world. The combination of high altitude (up to 2,200m in some areas), fertile soil, consistent and plentiful rains, and an abundance of local knowledge are all contributing factors to the high status of Yirgacheffe coffees.
