KOKE MILL-YIRGACHEFFE WOREDA, GEDEO ZONE

The family-owned Koke washing station was built in 2011 and has improved a lot since 2015, and its staff have begun to provide growers with ways to improve the quality of their coffee. The Koke water washing station is located on the hillside, and coffee grows above and below the water washing station. In the past three years, Koke station managers have distinguished high-altitude cherries and their quality has improved significantly. Ninety-six small-scale farmers have provided Koke with cherry harvests, most of them from multi-generation peasant families.

Their multi-generation experience is evident in sun-cured coffee, which is dried for 21 days on 106 elevated beds in washing stations and then stored in well-ventilated warehouses for a month. Cherries are sorted by hand when they arrive at the washing station to remove cherries with lower density. Use tarpaulins to prevent coffee from drying too quickly and losing its wonderful and unique flavor. When the coffee seed is dried in the cherry, grind it and remove the dried pulp and parchment at the same time. Raw beans are also selected according to color before export.

Juicy and clean, this is an elegant natural coffee with no shortage of sweetness. Flush with ripe grape, plum notes and a resonant jasmine flavor presented with uncommon clarity. Packed full of delicate jasmine tea, blueberry syrup, dried fruit, almonds, and sweetened condensed milk
