Dambi Uddo - 12 oz bag

This natural process coffee comes to us from Guji Highlands, a group that sources coffee from smallholders and manages its own semi-forest coffee farms around the Guji zone.
Farmers selectively handpick cherry and deliver it to the washing station or to local collection points. At the washing station, coffee is sorted to ensure that only the ripest cherry is processed. The collection agent oversees the quality of the cherries before processing.
Natural coffees, such as this one, are floated in water first to remove any underweight or damaged beans and any debris. Only the cherries that sink are accepted for the higher qualities. Floaters are kept aside to be processed as lower grades. After cleaning, cherry is carried straight to raised beds, where it is spread into a single layer for drying. Cherry is raked regularly and sorted to remove any damaged cherry that may have made it through the initial sorting.
After a few days, washing station staff will increase the thickness of the layer to slow the drying and stabilize humidity. Total drying time can take up to three weeks under cloudy conditions, or two weeks when the weather is sunny.
