The birthplace of our coffee, Koke kebele (village), is located in the Gedeo zone of the Yirgacheffe region. At the local washing stations, the coffee cherries are sorted upon receipt, then the seeds, still covered with sticky mucilage, are spread on raised beds and dried for approximately 10-14

days, depending on the weather conditions. The parchment is hulled off the beans just before export, and after further sorting, they are packed into bags.
