Green Coffee Information

Buku Abel Washing Station is located in the highlands of the Guji region, at approximately 1,900–2,100 m. The station collects coffee from around 500 small-scale producers in the surrounding area. Their farms generally range from 0.5 to 2 hectares and combine garden-style and semi-forest cultivation systems. Local varieties grown in the area are grouped under the name Heirloom.

For natural processing, the cherries are carefully sorted and then dried whole in the sun on raised African beds. Public sources describing Buku Abel’s natural lots indicate a slow drying period of approximately 18–21 days, depending on the coffee’s moisture level. The high altitude, cooler temperatures, and controlled drying are important parts of how the station handles these natural lots, with careful attention to fruit ripeness and processing consistency.
