The Waka Cooperative, which is part of the YCFCU Cooperative Union (Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union), was founded in 2005 and is one of 22 junior cooperatives.

The Waka Cooperative is located in the Gedeb area of Gedeo, a remote area within Yega Snow, 75 kilometers away from the local coffee distribution town of Dilla, and the outer road is in poor condition, with 20 kilometers of dirt road from the cooperative to the main tarmac road.

The cooperative is composed of 305 farmers, with a planting area of about 763 hectares and an annual output of nearly 460 metric tons. The altitude is very high, about 1800-1900 meters.

Because no chemical fertilizers or pesticides are used in coffee cultivation, Waka farmers have also obtained the Skal organic coffee certification recognized by the European Union. Just as Cochell is famous for washing, Wauka is particularly outstanding for tanning, but both Wauka and Cochell have different treatments of raw beans.

In recent years, the sun method has become increasingly sophisticated, greatly improving the traditional extensive mode for hundreds of years, paying more attention to the care of the harvest and sun drying process of ripe cherries, so that the beans retain the sweet flesh and slightly attractive flavor of fermented wine, and make a flavor that is not found in water washing.

Alim, Gagiru and Beharto are all members of the Waka Cooperative.

Heirlooms (native species) is the unique name of Ethiopia. Its varieties include Ironka, Mocha, Bourbon and so on. Kaffa is the cradle of Arabica coffee. Adding up to only a few hundred varieties (congenital or derived) from countries around the world, there are tens of thousands of species in this treasure house, most of which are still unclassified. Heirlooms (original species) is the unique name of Ethiopia (Ethiopia). It seems to tell the world that its varieties are all-inclusive and only need to be summarized in one word. Raw beans are turquoise and uniform in size.

Coffee beans in Africa are classified according to the proportion of defective beans. Indonesian beans are mainly divided into six grades, namely G1~G6. The highest grades of washed beans are G1 and G2, and those of sun-dried beans are G1 and G3.

What does that mean? As follows:

Washing: Grade-1;Grade-2 (G1 > G2)

Sun: Grade-1 and Grade-3~Grade-5 (G1 > G3 > G4 > G5)
