1000g - Gerbota, Ethiopia

Ethiopia, considered the cradle of coffee, is famous because it was here in the forests that Coffea Arabica grew wild. Taste this dark roasted coffee from its country of origin!

Gerbota Washing Station, located in the heart of Ethiopia’s famous coffee growing region, has been a cornerstone of the local coffee community since its inception in 2012. Owned by Tebarek Eshetu, the station serves as a hub for around 1,660 smallholder farmers who bring their carefully harvested red berries from nearby kebeles such as Gerse, Molicha, Adame and Gerbota. The station spans over 2 hectares and is equipped with 250 drying beds where the coffee undergoes its transformation.

This coffee has undergone a washing process. The berries are hand-harvested before being transported to the processing station where they are sorted before processing. The mashed coffee is wet-fermented for 72 hours before being washed in channels. The fermentation tanks at Negusse’s facilities are ceramic, which speeds up the fermentation process and contributes to the clarity of the final cup. The coffee is then density-sorted for quality, ensuring easy separation into higher quality batches. After fermentation and sorting, the coffee is soaked for two hours to complete the full washing process and then dried for 10 days. All coffee is hand-sorted one final time after drying before being prepared for export.
