This fully washed coffee comes from Ogu, Cameroon. Standing on the valley is Mount Oku Mount, which covers an area of 3011 acres, the second highest peak in West Africa. Oku is a subdivision of the Bui subzone in northwest Cameroon. Coffee grows between 1800 and 2200 and grows under orange and banana trees. Collect coffee and wash it with fresh spring water on the same day. Then dry on a raised bed. It is reported that the main varieties growing in Ogu were brought from Jamaica more than 70 years ago. It is now grown with a more active variety from the Indonesian province of Java and promoted by IRAD, a Cameroonian research institute. The exotic Kilum Forest was found that the world's famous white honey harvest and coffee pollination are mainly done by bees in this forest.

A stagnant volcanic lake sits at the top of the mountain, from which several springs of water gush to the villagers. The soil is mainly volcanic and tends to be slightly acidic. About 400 tons of washed Arabica are produced each year, and Osie is one of the most coffee-dependent villages in the northwest. Production is mainly small farmers, with farms ranging from 1 / 4ha to 3ha. Coffee grows on the slopes of Oku Mountain, ranging in height from 1700masl to 2200mas > l. Mainly small farmers, agricultural practice is basic. However, over the past six years, OLAM CAM SA has launched a coffee program to promote good agricultural practices.

The OLAM project covers three departments in the northwest region. This is in response to the decline in the production and quality of Arabica coffee in the region. Its goal is to improve livelihoods, ensure better quality and increase market access by increasing coffee production. The project adopts the farmer field school model. There are 94 registered farmers in Farmers' Field School. The Olympic Village is one of the main villages involved in the project, with about 450 members forming 12 farmers' field school groups.
