Ethiopia Yaye Premium WashedWashed processThe fruit is removed from the seed before drying, usually with fermentation and a water rinse. Tends to give clean, transparent cups where origin character shows clearly. Espresso - Single OriginSingle originCoffee from one traceable place — a country at the loosest, a single farm or lot at the strictest — rather than a blend of sources.. This lot is sourced from 20 carefully selected producers in the Chericho kebele of Arbegona. These producers were identified through Testi Specialty Coffee’s Premium Cherry Selection program, which recognises consistent delivery of high quality, well managed cherry. Cherry selection begins at the farm level, with producers incentivised through premium pricing to deliver optimally ripe fruit. At Yaye washing stationWashing stationA central mill where many smallholder farmers deliver cherry for processing. In Ethiopia, Kenya, and Rwanda the station name (e.g. Idido) often identifies the coffee., intake protocols are highly selective, with additional sorting and floatation used to standardise quality prior to processing. Cherries are pulped and fermented in clean water for 48 hours, with close monitoring of fermentation progress and water quality. The parchment is then washed and density graded through channels before being transferred to raised drying beds. Drying occurs under parabolic shade over approximately 21 days, with careful control of layer depth, turning frequency, and airflow to ensure gradual and even moisture reduction.
