About
About the farmer and farm Kochere sits in the highlands of the Yirgacheffe region, at 1800-2100 meters above sea level, where fertile, acidic volcanic loam soils combine with a cool climate and steady rainfall of 1592-2220 mm a year. Smallholder farmers grow coffee in shaded garden plots using traditional, low-input methods, often intercropping their trees with food plants. The region is known for its diverse Ethiopian heirloom varieties (Kurume, Dega, Wolisho, JARC 74110, JARC 74123), which build a complex, floral, citrus-forward flavor profile. Flowering happens in April, with harvest running from November to December. Processing: natural, Biloya station Ripe cherries are hand-picked on smallholder farms and delivered to the Biloya station. The cherries are processed using the natural method, whole fruit, without depulping. Drying takes place on African drying beds, where the region's lush, semi-forest landscape and community-based farming practices help shape a vibrant, distinctive cup.
