This natural processed Ethiopian bean is sourced from family-owned farms organized around the Aricha Mill located in the Yirgacheffe district of Gedeo Zone. The Aricha Mill is a washing station owned and operated by Cherab na Betesebu and his family. Coffee producers from over 650 small farms deliver their ripe cherries to Aricha Mill where the cherries are sorted for defects and placed on raised drying beds in thin layers. They are turned every 2 to 3 hours for several days to avoid over-fermentation until properly dried.
