We are thrilled to present not only one but two Day lots from the Duwancho Washing Station located in Arbergona, Ethiopia:
Yaye Duwancho, a temperature-controlled fermentation and fully washed coffee, tasting like mandarin, ripe mango and jasmine and Arbergona Duwancho, a delicious dry-processed lot tasting like nectarine, hibiscus and orange blossom.
Both of these unique microlots are produced by a tiny group of ten farmers who live close to the washing station. The very small number of contributing growers adding to the clarity and the distinct cup quality of the lots.
Duwancho is a privately-owned washing station that is owned and managed by , a family-owned company founded by Mr Faysel A. Yonis.
Sitting at 2,250m above sea level, it produces exceptional washed and natural lots.
The site was built by Testi in 2021 as a ‘premium’ facility, and selected for its natural advantages – including its high elevation, the surrounding region’s characteristics and access to fresh, clean water.
By choosing sites in areas favoured with great growing conditions and paying premiums for properly harvested fruit, Testi ensures they only receive extremely high quality cherry.
