ETHIOPIA | GEDEB HALLOBERITI | NATURAL

Gedeb Halloberiti is a washing station in the Gedeo zone and more specifically Yirgacheffe. It gets its name from the nearby village of Hallo Beriti.

The washing station works with around 1,200 regular contributing producers and around 2,100 producers in total. These producers carefully harvest only mature, ripe cherries and deliver them fresh for processing. Floating is used to sort out any bad cherries immediately. These coffees are dried in the shade and sorted for defects throughout the drying time. After about 18 days the moisture content should reach 11.2% and the dry cherry is stored and rest for 4 weeks before hulling.
