ABOUT ARSOSALA WASHING STATION

Arsosala is a washing station founded in 2015 that currently serves about 1,200 smallholder producers in the Uraga woreda of Guji. Coffees are picked ripe and depulped the same day, then fermented overnight before being washed clean and dried on raised beds. It typically takes the coffee 8–15 days to dry under sun and 15–20 days to dry when there are cloudy skies.

The process “SPECIAL PREP” entails collecting cherries from a limited number of smallholder farmers. 90% of the cherries are perfectly picked, the right red color. 5% semi red and 5% overripe. In the cup, this would lead to a higher intensity of sweetness and more pronounced nuance the coffee has to offer in comparison to its non-special prep lot.
