Ethiopia Konga Amederaro Natural

This naturally processed Grade 1 lot comes from the Konga Amederaro station in Konga village, Yirgacheffe. Situated at 2,000 masl, the station works with 1,890 local farmers supported by the Toracho River. Konga Amederaro is known for its strict quality standards, placing 7th in the inaugural Ethiopia Cup of Excellence and reaching the final table for Taste of Harvest in 2018 and 2019.

Farmers typically grow JARC, an Ethiopian heirloom sub-variety, on small “garden coffee” plots around their homes. Shade-grown cherries are selectively harvested based on Brix readings, then undergo careful hand sorting and floatation at the station. Selected cherries dry on raised African beds for 15–18 days, turned regularly and covered during peak sun and at night. Moisture and water activity guide the drying endpoint before the coffee is rested, milled, graded, handpicked, and bagged in GrainPro for export.
