The Ethiopia is grown, harvested, and Natural processed near the Mirado Village of Sidama. Coffee is collected by smallholder farmers who live around Mirado and processed at the Mirado Washing Station. Natural coffees are typically delivered the day they are harvested, and are first sorted for ripeness and quality. Once cleaned, the coffee cherries are spread on raised drying beds, where they are rotated constantly throughout the course of drying. Drying can take an average of 8–25 days, depending on the weather.
The Nicaragua is produced exclusively by 125 women coffee producers in Jinotega, who receive a premium based on coffee that meets a high-quality standard. This coffee is a blend from multiple women-owned farms. Aldea Global provides its small farmer members with technical assistance, micro-crediting, and marketing services as well as educating producers on agro-ecological practices such as diversified cropping and soil and water conservation. Cherries are picked when fully ripe, depulped, fermented overnight, washed, and then placed on raised beds and patios to dry.
