This was produced by smallholder farmers in the Sede Aladicha area and naturally sun-dried at the SNAP wet mill located in the Gedeo Zone.
Processing:
Ripe red cherries are selectively handpicked from smallholder farms in and around Sede Aladicha Kebele. Only fully ripe cherries are selected for processing. The cherries are then placed directly onto raised drying beds where they undergo natural fermentation and sun-drying. During this stage, the cherries are regularly turned and monitored to ensure uniform drying, which takes place over several days under shaded and open sun conditions.
Naming:
In order to fully track our coffees and facilitate their selection, our team created a flavour wheel, where we have allocated different flavour profiles to colours. ‘Magarissa’ refers to a green colour in the Oromiffa language. In our flavour wheel, it describes great-value coffees that are balanced, with flavours such as sweet berries, chamomile, herbs, and citrus.
