GROWING AND PROCESSING

This is our fourth year working with the natural process, certified organic Okoluu from the Sookoo group in Guji, southern Ethiopia. 

During harvest season, the farmers in the Sookoo group selectively pick ripe, red cherries (known as Grade 1 or Grade A). After sorting the cherries by floating them in water, they are laid out on raised drying beds in layers 2 to 4cm thick.  Over the course of 14-28 days, the cherries are turned 5 to 6 times per day to maintain an even drying. During rainy periods and overnight, the drying cherries are covered to avoid re-humidification.

SOOKOO COFFEE

The coffee is grown by a small collection of local farmers which form part of the Sookoo Group managed by Ture Waji, who is a local expert in agronomy and permaculture.
