The Gedeb district is home to thousands of coffee growers and produces the most incredible coffee in the world. Located south of Yegashev, in the same region of Gedeo, the Gedeb region is rapidly developing its reputation to star mass. Sixteen kebeles (villages) form the Gedeb district, one of which is called "work-sakaro". The name "Worka" is very famous in the professional coffee world, but little is known about several coffee washing stations near sakaro kebele.

In Gteo, the word "Worka" means "gold", a name associated with the friendly inhabitants of the region since the time of King Haile Selassie Selassie. A local tree named arond Gedeb was also found, and the locals called it "Sakaro", so the name of kebele was "work-Sakaro". "of the 1276 hectares of farmland, about 679 hectares grow coffee, indicating that our favorite drink is an important part of farmers' culture and economy. "Wuri" is another Gedio word, meaning "high altitude".

In 2017, the Ethiopian government relaxed export rules to allow private washing stations to export coffee directly and traceably. Lin Jie Industry and Trade Co., Ltd. has been actively working in the region for many years, helping farmers improve their productivity and quality, and carefully handle their harvests for delivery to ECX. It's great that the coffee can now be exported directly to buyers like Atlas and can be traced back to washing stations and farmers.

The sorting and drying process of Wuri is accurate and tedious. Washed coffee is dried within 12-15 days and natural coffee is dried within 18-21 days. During the day, natural objects are covered to ensure mild and consistent dryness. During the day, natural objects will keep turning on the bed. The botanical and tropical complexity of both washed and naturally processed Wuri coffee makes them higher than most of the coffees we receive from the region every year. Ripe, dark berries and cherries are mixed with guava, ginger and grapefruit to form a distinctive taste. Roses, jasmine and honey are the highlights of washed coffee, while the natural flavor resonates with rich blackberries and black plums.
