Farm and Producer

Abore washing station in Sidama processes cherries from the highland communities of Bombe and Shantawene.

The station separates washed production by contributing community and uses raised beds for drying.

Variety

74110 is a compact Ethiopian Arabica selection developed through the Jimma Agricultural Research Center’s work on coffee berry disease resistance and productivity.

Processing

In washed processing, the fruit pulp and remaining mucilage are removed before the coffee is dried. This approach often emphasizes a defined structure and separation of flavors, while fermentation and drying choices still influence the result.
