This lot is sourced from more than 350 farmers living in the Yirgacheffe, Idido district. Farmers deliver ripe cherries to the Gizat Washing station, where they undergo a meticulous sorting process to ensure only the best cherries are selected. These are then immediately placed on raised beds and dried over 15-20 days. The cherries are stored at a local warehouse after their moisture content is recorded at 11.5-12%. They are then further processed for colour, density, and screen size then they are milled ready for export.
