Sweet, Clean, Bright Acidity.

This coffee lot is a blend of coffee berry disease (CBD) resistant coffee varieties selected in 1974 and 1975. Dominantly it is a coffee variety called 75227 which is CBD resistant, high yielding and high quality coffee variety selected in 1975. Telila coffee processing station sources red coffee cherries from three different villages around the washing station. These are Yukro, Kercho Anderacha, and Genji Challa villages. Red coffee cherries from each village are processed separately to create community separated lots. The same fully washed coffee processing technique is applied for each lot. Well ripe coffee cherries are pulped within 12 hours from time of picking. Immediately after pulping, the parchment coffee is soaked in clean water for 12 hours. Then parchment coffee is washed and water is changed to prevent over fermentation. Finally, the coffee is soaked for another 12 hours for the final stage of fermentation. In total, after 24 hours the coffee is fully washed with clean water and graded for the final stage of skin drying under shade followed by drying under sun on raised african coffee drying beds. On average it needs a total of 12 days to attain bean moisture content of 10.5%. Immediately after taking the parchment coffee off the bed, it is stored in airtight hermetic bags and delivered to a final coffee processing facility owned by Addis Exporter.
