The Uraga Woreda is home to the highest altitude coffee we offer, many of the farms topping out at 2300 meters above sea level. Altitude plays a role in coffee density, the higher altitude zones slowing rates of maturation, which in turn produces a much denser coffee with higher potential for sweetness and acidityAcidityThe bright, lively, fruit-like sensation in coffee — praise, not a flaw. Citric sparkle, malic apple-crispness, tartaric wine notes; light roasts preserve more of it.. The village of Wate Gogogu is one of those dizzying altitudinal zones, and home to the Gogogo coffee 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.. There are around 450 small-holder farmers around Wate Gogogu, most with less than a hectare of coffee planted.
