Summary of producer

Smallholders

As with many regional landraces, the names applied to the coffee varieties are borrowed from the names of indigenous trees. Trees at farms found are avocado, Ethiopian banana and other larger trees that provide animal diversity and shade. The ripe hand-picked coffee berries are wet fermented and dried in the Ethiopian sun for up to 3 weeks. The slow drying ensures an important and stable moisture level in the coffee. The coffee areas of Bule benefit from moderate altitudes and yield sensationally sweet and elegantly fruit flavored coffees.

Kurume and Dega are two of Ethiopia’s regional landrace varieties from Yirgacheffe. The Kurume tree carry smaller sized fruit, yet with a qualitative annual yield. Kurume is a dense, small bean with a mouth-watering acidity and permits higher energy throughput. The wood of the Dega tree omits a sweet fragrant aroma when burned for firewood. The Amharic word “dega” means “cool highland area”, certainly appropriate for the environment where Dega grows.

Liberalization of the industry will enable more blends of varieties.

Summary of variety

Kurume, Dega

Kurume is a commonly grown variety among farmers in the Guji and Gedeo Zones, which includes Yirgacheffe. Sometimes, the Kurume name is applied to JARC-selected varieties due to the similarities in the trees’ appearance.

Dega is another regional landrace named for an indigenous tree. The wood of the Dega tree omits a sweet, fragrant aroma when burned for firewood, similar to the smell of coffee roasting.

Summary of production

Washed WX

At the washing station, coffee is sorted to remove damaged or underripe cherry and is then delivered to the pulpers to be pulped. Afterwards, the coffee is fermented for 24 hours which depends on the weather conditions. Once fermentation is complete the parchment is thoroughly washed and is then graded in washing channels, separating each lot into two grades based on density. The coffee is sometimes soaked under clean spring water in tanks for 12-24 hours to remove all traces of fermented mucilage. After washing, the coffee is delivered to raised meshes to dry under shade for 10-14 days until moisture content reaches 12%.
