Description

Located in the highlands of Sidama, Shefina Washing Station receives cherry from hundreds of smallholder producers farming less than two hectares each. The region’s fertile soils, cool climate, and elevation contribute to slow cherry maturation, resulting in the complex cup profiles typical of Ethiopia’s heirloom varieties. Cherries are selectively handpicked at peak ripeness and delivered for same-day processing. Careful pulping is followed by 12–48 hours of fermentation, adjusted to local conditions, before thorough washing in clean channels. Drying takes place on raised African beds for 7–14 days, promoting even airflow and consistent moisture reduction. Farming is largely organic-by-default, with minimal chemical input, allowing the natural terroir to shine through.

“Many farmers will use the term microlot to describe a coffee lot that is from a single farm, single harvest, or even from a single area on their farm. Some will add this term to a small batch of specially-processed coffee (such as a honey-processed coffee). In any case, for farmers, microlot typically refers to a traceable, exclusive green coffee that the farmer has produced through outstanding effort and great care. When a farmer offers a microlot, it typically represents the best of his crops, and they hope for a much higher return for his labor (typically 1.5 to 3 times the average current market value of the green coffee) by selling directly to buyers or by adding the label to his product before processing or distribution”. – Driven Coffee
