Although the linen bag of P4 ▲ Ethiopian coffee is not as beautiful as that of Central America, it also has a moisturizing plastic bag, which is standard for high-quality coffee and can be moisture-proof and fresh-keeping.

P5 ▲ opens the plastic bag, the rich fruit fermentation aroma comes to the nostrils, the bean body color is yellow, it looks very delicious!

P6 ▲ sun treatment of coffee cherries is particularly demanding, must be red, ripe fruit, and then carefully selected to remove defects.

The P7 ▲ was then laid out on an elevated net bed and dried in the sun for 2 weeks. Finally, when the water content is about 12%, the coffee cherry looks like a dry wrinkle, purple and black, with a rich sweet smell of dried fruit, so it's done!

▲ Poli Village (Boji Kebele) is located in the town of Kochere Woreda, about 15 kilometers away from the busiest town in the producing area. P8 ▲ in 2014, Israel Degfa set up a treatment plant here and named it Bonde Factory after Water Source Bonde River, only 1.5km from the famous Biloya cooperative, where farmers are free to choose to sell coffee cherries to cooperatives or processing plants, so private processing plants officially become competitors to cooperatives.

P9 ▲ Israel Degfa holds regular meetings with farmers, in addition to providing planting technical support, but also sets quality standards, "high quality = high price", to encourage farmers to pursue quality improvement! At present, 884 farmers in Poli village have joined the production team of Bodi processing plant.

P10 ▲ started a cooperative movement in Ethiopia in 2000, which not only promoted the rise of boutique coffee, but also took care of the lives of more small coffee farmers. ▲ has 25 cooperatives under the Yega Sheffield Cooperative Union (YCFCU) alone, most of which are set up in villages. With the growth of cooperatives and the rapid increase in output, the problem of quality gap between different batches began to appear. This has also spawned another wave of private processing plants in pursuit of higher quality. (the blue dots in the picture are cooperatives and the red dots are private processing plants.) ▲ Green Circle Isreal Degefa, now officially named Bodi treatment Plant (Bonde Factory)

P11 ▲ Israel Degfa (the third person from right in the picture), as a second generation coffee farmer, apart from deeply understanding the hard work and plight of small farmers, what is more important is his international view-Remove quantity to Quality-- replaces high output with high quality. His idea coincides with the trend of fine coffee. In ▲ 2013, Israel Degfa established Kerchanshe PLC and obtained the export license of coffee beans. From then on, he has the dual identity of producer and exporter. Greatly meet as consumers of our product traceability (Traceabitily) requirements.

P12 ▲ Israel believes that healthy seedlings are the first step in the successful cultivation of coffee. Cultivating excellent varieties with good flavor and strong disease resistance can make coffee farmers make enough profits. Only in this way will small farmers be more willing to invest in the coffee industry. Such a virtuous circle!

P13 ▲ Kerchanshe PLC has a nursery in Kochere where about 500000 coffee seedlings are cultivated and provided to local coffee farmers free of charge.
