Red Cherry Project OCR (Operation Cherry Red)

A project for the European Union, proposed by the Dutch government, aims to encourage coffee farmers in Ethiopia to produce better quality coffee beans.

Origin: led by the Dutch Trabocca BV (the largest soybean vendor in the Netherlands), partially sponsored by the Dutch government, it provides financial loans to support new hardware equipment and production processing knowledge to assist farmers.

Harvest method: hand-picked ripe red coffee cherry harvest season, women hand-selected 100% fully ripe red cherry coffee, careful eyes and hard work of clothing women is an important driving force behind the OCR project! Because of its strict selection, the annual production is only about 1500-3000 kg of coffee beans in small batches. Because the ripe coffee fruit looks like a cherry, it is known as "coffee cherry".

Treatment: washing / semi-washing / sun / half-sun / experimental coffee

Packaging: beans are processed in the place of origin and immediately packed in plastic inner bags (Grain Pro bags) or vacuum.

Main producing areas: Yegashev, Sidamo, Punga Forest, Lekanti, Ken Bata, Irubarb, Hara, Lim, etc., all of which are unique in flavor and can fully show the flavor of Ethiopian beans. Trabocca will choose from the coffee after receiving it. Farms that pass the cup test quality test in Ethiopia and the Netherlands will pay a high bonus, with a passing score of more than 88 points to become a good coffee for the Red Cherry Project.
