ABOUT THIS COFFEE

Adado Washing Station sits nearby the town of Yirgacheffe. Yirgacheffe is home to some of the most highly sought-after coffees in the world. Coffee was made to flourish in Yirgacheffe. Literally! Arabica coffee plants are native to Yirgacheffe, Arabica grew wild in Yirgacheffe before it grew anywhere else in the world.  

As a result, Yirgacheffe’s climate is the climate for Arabica coffee. All the things the coffee industry seeks elsewhere - high altitudes, nutrient-rich soil, adequate rainfall, warm days and cool nights - are here in Yirgacheffe because Arabica evolved to flourish in Yirgacheffe’s climate. 

Combine all that with the rigorous, quality-focused processing at Adado Washing Station and you have the original recipe for great coffee. This Natural from Adado is delightfully floral with rich berry notes and a complex sweetness. 

HARVET & POST_HARVEST

Natural processing at the station follows the traditional Ethiopian methods. After an initial screening where cherry is floated and visually checked underripe and damaged cherry, cherry is washed in clean water and then transferred to raised beds to dry. Staff regularly turn the cherry to ensure even drying. Once dried, coffee rests in a cooperative warehouse.

COFFEE IN ETHIOPIA

While Ethiopia is famous as coffee’s birthplace, today it remains a specialty coffee industry darling for its incredible variety of flavors. While full traceability has been difficult in recent history, new regulations have made direct purchasing possible. We’re partnering directly with farmers to help them produce top quality specialty lots that are now completely traceable, adding value for farmers and roasters, alike.

The exceptional quality of Ethiopian coffee is due to a combination of factors. The genetic diversity of coffee varieties means that we find a diversity of flavor, even between (or within) farms with similar growing conditions and processing. In addition to varieties, processing methods also contribute to end quality. The final key ingredients for excellent coffee in Ethiopia are the producing traditions that have created the genetic diversity, processing infrastructure and great coffee we enjoy today.

Most producers in Ethiopia are smallholders, and the majority continue to cultivate coffee using traditional methods. As a result, most coffee is grown with no chemical fertilizer or pesticide use. Coffee is almost entirely cultivated, harvested and dried using manual systems.
