The combination of high altitude, cool growing conditions, and iron-rich acidic soils contributes to the bright, floral, and complex profile associated with coffees from Yirgacheffe and Gedeb. For washed lots, ripe cherries are first sorted before being pulped to remove the outer fruit. The coffee is then fermented and washed to remove the remaining mucilage before being dried on raised beds. During drying, the coffee is turned regularly and monitored for moisture content to support even drying and reduce the risk of defects. This process typically produces a clean cup profile with clarity, brightness, and well-defined acidity.
