Faver’s coffee journey began about 25 years ago, when he learned everything he knows about coffee production from his father and neighbors. About six years ago, he became very interested in coffee varieties and specialty coffee. His four children also were involved in this process, and now they all participate in the farm´s production; each of them owns their own coffee plants and carefully selects the varieties they want to grow to contribute to the family’s economy and their own.—from The Coffee Quest

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. The approximately 1,000 farmers that deliver cherry to this washing station, come from the region and have between 2 and 3 hectares of land sitting at an elevation of between 1950–2200 masl. This lot consists of the Ethiopian Heirloom varieties Korume and Wolisho.
Once the cherries arrive at the Chelbesa One 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 lot starts with the producers meticulously sorting ripe cherries before depulping. Coffee is then fermented in sealed tanks for 72 hours, washed, and laid out to dry on raised beds for over 13 days. Workers make sure to turn the parchment every 3 hours each day to ensure an even drying process. In Amharic, “Boku Sayisa” translates to “Blessed Valley,” and legend has it among the Guji Oromo people that coffee sprang in this valley from the tears of the sky god Waaqa, mourning a servant’s unjust death.
