Ethiopia
Ethiopia is the largest coffee producer in Africa and the 3rd largest producer in the world with an annual yield of 4-5 million sacks. Ethiopia produces a large range of coffees and the grains of every area have their own distinguishing traits that separate them from each other, resulting in making their coffee the best and most known all over the world.
Yunko processing station
This particular coffee is subjected to wet treatment and sun drying. Over 400 members of the cooperative hand pick the fruit. As soon as they are gathered they are taken to the peeling machines, where cylinders separate the bean from the pulp and are submerged in the fermentation tank.
In the tank the beans are soaked for one night. This process gives the coffee its characteristic acidity and a clearer, fresher taste. At the end of this process, the beans are washed in running river water canals before they are led to African drying beds where the process is slowly completed anywhere between 8 and 10 days. When the drying period of the beans is over the beans are carefully hand selected and transported at the dry processing station of Addis Ababa.
