LIGHT ROAST

This is a double washed offering from coffee farmer Desta Gola, a member of the Adame Gorbota Cooperative in Gedeo, Ethiopia. Desta Gola cultivated this single farmer lot on his 10-acre farm near the town of Gorbota located in the heart of the coveted Gedeo Zone. Desta has been cultivating coffee since 2013 and with the help of the single lot program he has been able to sell his coffee as a micro-lot in recent years. Coffee is Desta’s main source of income to support his wife and their nine children (6 girls and 3 boys).

The ripe coffee cherries were taken to the Adame Garbota Cooperative and carefully hand sorted and floated to remove less dense coffee beans, then depulped, fermented for 48 hours, and washed and classified again in channels. Then the coffee is placed on raised beds where it is hand sorted again and dried over a period of 12 to 15 days. The coffee is often covered during the afternoons to prevent harsh drying in the intense sun. When the coffee reaches 11 percent moisture content, it is transported to Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, to be milled and prepared for export.
