About:
The Riripa washing station is in Rafisa Kebele in the Nensebo woreda. Approximately 450 growers deliver their coffee cherries by donkey and horse. This region's mountainous terrain and unique climate create ideal conditions for coffee cultivation.

The traditional processing techniques applied in this region are key to preserving the quality of the coffee. The whole cherry, including the skin, pulp, and mucilage, remains intact during fermentation. The beans are then dried in the sun on raised beds, where they are constantly turned to prevent spoilage. Once thoroughly dried, the cherries are hulled to extract the prized green beans.

Recommended brewing methods: Espresso Machine, Stove Top, Aeropress, Clever Dripper
