Most farm organically on less than a hectare, growing coffee alongside corn and false banana under native shade trees, and Testi selects the ones whose cherry is consistently the best. This coffee is dried whole in the fruit on raised beds and turned by hand several times a day for a month, a method Ethiopian farmers have refined over generations. Growers are paid a premium on delivery and again once the coffee sells. Special Lot These micro-lots have been selected because they show distinct character, and they exemplify our high standards of quality and clarity.
