Story

The Hafursa Waro Washing Station is part of the rich coffee history in the Yirgacheffe region of Ethiopia, known for its high-quality coffees. Kumulachew Bishaw started the station on a 4.4-hectare plot because he saw the potential in the area's unique coffee-growing conditions and its skilled farmers.

The station is in the fertile Hafursa Waro area, where excellent local coffee varieties grow well. Kumulachew builds strong relationships with the farmers, ensuring that only the best coffee cherries are processed. The station opened in 2013 with 150 drying beds; now there are over 400 due to its success and high demand for quality coffee.

The Hafursa Waro Washing Station is more than just a processing plant. It actively supports the local community by paying extra for high-quality coffee and promoting sustainability. The station provides organic compost to farmers and helps local projects, including schools.

Origin

Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia

The Yirgacheffe region is one of Ethiopia's best places for coffee production. Its ideal growing conditions, including high altitudes, rich soils, and good climates, help create some of the world's most unique and desired coffees.

This area gained attention in the early 2000s when Ethiopia fought to control its coffee trademarks and distribution rights. During this time, coffee from Yirgacheffe, especially from Hafursa Waro, started to be recognised worldwide.

The washing station has faced challenges, like finding steady buyers for its coffee. Despite these issues, Kumulachew is dedicated to improving the station and helping the farmers, looking for ways to enhance coffee quality and expand their reach.
