Importing Partner: The Coffee Quest
This lot is produced at the Chelbesa One Washing Station in the Gedeb Zone and is managed by SNAP Specialty Coffee. Once the coffee cherries arrive at the washing station, they are placed in water for sorting and removing of floaters. The cherries are then de-pulped and left to dry ferment in tanks for 2-3 days to be later washed and placed to dry on raised beds. To ensure an even drying, the parchment is constantly moved each day, taking 7-10 days, depending on the weather, until reaching the desired humidity.

This Kiyonza Hill lot is a part of Baho’s ongoing appellation project surrounding the Fugi Station. They’re focusing on smaller lot separations by processing groups of farmers’ coffee together based on the highest quality growing areas. The hills are often chosen based on altitude, which tends to correlate to a distinct vibrancy and saturation of flavor.
