Our in-country partner, Tracon Coffee, has been experimenting with new processing methods as a way to increase value and stand out among a growing number of specialty washing stations in Ethiopia. Tracon has been trialing anaerobic fermentation with several of their washing stations in Yirgacheffe since 2015. Uraga washing station receives checherriesom farmers in the surrounding region. The station is located in Guji, a cofcoffee-growinggion that was once part of Yirgacheffe but whose microclimate produces such unique coffee, that it was allocated as its own cofcoffee-growinggion.
Cultivation
Farming methods in the region remain largely traditional. Guji farmers typically intercrop their coffee plants with other food crops. This method is common among smallholders because it maximizes land use and provides food for their families.I n addition to remaining traditionally intercropped, most farms are also organic-by-default. Farmers in Guji typically use very few—if any—fertilizers or pesticides. Most farm work is done manually by the immediate family.T o capitalize on the magnificent climate, Uraga the washing station provides training to help farmers produce better quality cherrycherriesning focuses on procedures for harvesting and transporting cherry.
Harvest & Post-Harvest
Farmers selectively handpick ripe cherrcherriesdeliver it to the station. At intake, employees visually inspect cherrthe y and accept only fully ripe cherrcherriesanaerobic fermentation. Selected cherry is pulped and placed in sealed tanks. ORO yeast from Lalcafe that's been specially formulated for coffee fermentation is added. Coffee and yeast ferments anaerobically for 18 to 24 hours. After fermentation, parchment is washed in clean water and laid to dry on raised beds. Workers rake parchment frequently to ensure even drying. It takes approximately 2 to 3 weeks for parchment to dry.
