Gigesa is a small town in the Danbi Uddo Kebele, not far from the town of Shakiso in the Guji Zone of Ethiopia. The Gigesa washing station, owned and operated by the Yonis family, shares the name of the town and collects cherries from more than 500 coffee growers in the area, each holding approximately 2-5 hectares of farm land, all over 1800 meters above sea level. The Gigesa washing station holds NOP and EU Organic certification.
Freshly picked cherries are delivered to the Gigesa washing station and immediately put into a “floatation tank” to separate lower quality cherries. The coffee is then left under shade for 3-5 hours to let the surface water dry off before ultimately being spread out on raised drying beds. The cherries are observed and agitated to ensure even drying and avoiding over-fermentation. The natural drying process at the Gigesa washing station typically lasts 15 to 18 days.
Clean Coffee
Clean Coffee
We believe coffee should be both delicious and responsibly sourced. That’s why we only work with specialty-grade coffees that are carefully harvested, dried, and stored. Once processed, every lot is sealed in GrainPro bags to protect it from moisture during transit and storage.
The result is clean, safe coffee that reflects the care of everyone involved. Some people have asked us about things like mold or mycotoxins, especially ochratoxin A (OTA), which can form in poorly handled coffees. It’s a fair question, but in coffees of this quality, stored and roasted the way we do, the risk is extremely low.
If you’d like to know more, we’re happy to share additional information. Just ask, we’re all about keeping things open and honest.
