Shakisso Gigesa Heirloom Washed, Ethiopia| FILTER

This lot is sourced from Gigesa village in Ethiopia's renowned Oromia region, this exceptional coffee is cultivated by a community of 500 dedicated producers. Each of these smallholder farmers typically manages an average of one hectare of land, where they meticulously grow heirloom coffee varieties using organic practices. This commitment to quality not only yields outstanding coffee but also plays a vital role in the economic prosperity of the region. These farms are located between 1,850 and 2,100 m.a.s.l, the region’s altitude provide the ideal microclimate for developing the coffee's complex and
distinctive flavor profile.

Coffee farmers transport their cherries to the Gigesa station, Once the coffee arrives at the station, pre-sorting of the cherries is performed. The team carefully hand-sorts them, selecting only perfectly ripe ones and removing any unripe, overripe, or foreign material. Afterwards, the cherries are floated in water. Low-density, imperfect coffee is removed as it floats, while healthy, dense beans sink to the bottom.
