The Farm:

Founded in 1976, the Layo Teraga cooperative provides market access for its smallholder members that would otherwise not have existed in Guji, where prices for coffee have historically been lower than neighboring Gedeo or Sidama zones because of this lack of market access. Located in northern Uraga in the Guji zone, the 1841 smallholder members of the cooperative grow coffee in gardens around their homes in semi-forested environments at staggeringly high elevations exceeding 2,200 MASL.

Processing:

This is a washed coffee, meaning that after harvesting only large, ripe cherries, the fruit is separated from the seed, or de-pulped, before drying slowly and evenly on raised beds for several days depending on the weather conditions.
