The Story

Arsosala is a washing station in the Uraga woreda of Guji, Ethiopia, serving around 1,200 smallholder farmers since 2015. Coffee cherries are picked ripe, depulped the same day, fermented overnight, and washed before drying on raised beds for up to 20 days, depending on the weather. Farmers in this region cultivate coffee on small plots without the use of fertilizers or pesticides, delivering their cherries to the station for careful processing. We work closely with our export partners to source from the same trusted washing stations each year.
