Wholesale Ethiopia Grade 1 - Washed | Arsosala Washing Station

To understand more about the farm/washing station that this coffee came from, here's an excerpt from our importer... Cafe Imports: "Arsosala is a washing station founded in 2015 that currently serves about 1,200 smallholder producers in the Urga woreda of Guji. Coffees are picked ripe and de-pulped the same day, then fermented overnight before being washed clean and dried on raised beds. It typically takes the coffee 8–15 days to dry under the sun and 15–20 days to dry when there are cloudy skies. Coffees in Ethiopia are typically traceable to the washing station level, where smallholder farmers—many of whom own less than 1/2 hectare of land, and as little as 1/8 hectare on average—deliver cherry by weight to receive payment at a market rate.
