Edido Washing Station

Edido is a washing station in the Gedeb district of Yirgacheffe, southern Ethiopia. Around 800 smallholder farmers deliver ripe cherry, which is sorted and dried on raised beds. Natural lots are turned every two to three hours through the first days and take five to six weeks to dry before hulling and resting at altitude. The coffee comes from indigenous Ethiopian heirloom varieties, and it is the slow, hands-on drying that gives it such clean, jammy fruit.
