Ethiopia Kochere

Kore is the village, or kebele, where this coffee is grown and processed, in the Kochere "district" or woreda within Yirgacheffe. Kore is about 25 kilometres from the center of Yirgacheffe Town. The soils in this region are red-brown clay soil, about 1.5 meters deep.
The coffee is picked and delivered to the Boji washing station, de-pulped within 12 hours, and washed using spring water.
Coffees in Ethiopia are typically grown on very small plots of land by farmers who also grow other crops. The majority of smallholders will deliver their coffee in cherry to a nearby washing station where their coffee will be sorted, weighed, and paid for or given a receipt. Coffee is then processed, usually washed or natural, by the washing station and dried on raised beds.The washing stations serve as many as several hundred to sometimes a thousand or more producers, who deliver cherry throughout the harvest season.
Yirgacheffe has become famous for coffee. This region is plentiful, the thick vegetation is a product of the warm tropical climate with moderate wet and dry seasons. Most coffee is shade-grown by small producers using organic practices.
