Seid Kemal grew up in Sedi village, neighbouring the renowned Gera Research Centre, where he was inspired by watching scientists work with coffee varieties from a young age. Driven to move beyond the traditional model of selling cherry to local collectors, Seid established his own washing station in 2016. This independence allows him to process his family’s harvest alongside coffee from over 40 nearby smallholders, offering second payments to farmers and ensuring the value of their hard work stays within the community.

This washed lot highlights the meticulous standards Seid has implemented at his station. After careful sorting, cherries undergo a slow, wet fermentation before being dried on raised beds, where they are covered during the midday heat to ensure even curing. The result is a beautifully clean cup that reflects the semi-forest terroir of the Gera highlands, showcasing the clarity that comes from handling these local varieties with precision.

Whole beans or pre-ground?

Coffee deteriorates much faster once it is ground, making whole beans the ideal way to purchase coffee. If you don't have a grinder though, all good!

Grind Guide

Whole Beans - not ground, you have your own grinder
Commercial Espresso - very fine for a commercial espresso machine
Home Espresso - quite fine for a domestic espresso machine
Stovetop - fine for percolator / moka pot
Aeropress - medium for Aeropress
Pour Over - medium for pour over
Plunger - coarse for plunger / french press
