Hand-picked cherries are meticulously sorted, then graded and laid on raised beds to dry. They begin in thin layers with frequent turning to prevent over-fermentation, are covered during midday sun and overnight, and are gradually heaped after the “raisin stage.” Drying typically finishes in 15 to 18 days, after which the coffee is hulled and rested in parchment until export.

This lot comes from the Bombe kebele (similar to a village or neighbourhood) and is processed at Ayla Washing Station, where deliveries are separated by kebele for traceability. It was selected through Testi’s Premium Cherry Selection program, which rewards farmers for delivering only the ripest cherries and focuses on best-practice processing for the cleanest, highest quality cups.

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
Batch Brewer - very coarse for Moccamaster and other batch brewers
