Story

Webanchi Washing Station is an example of how quality coffee production can not only create incredible lots, as well as support the infrastructure and growth of coffee-growing communities. Meseret and Abraham, of Primrose coffee exporters, chose the spot for the site of a new Washing Station, so that it could have easy access to electricity – no mean feat in parts of rural Ethiopia. This means that the station can continue processing coffee after sunset, a task often made very difficult at other washing stations. 

The Webanchi mill is also located close to a school in the town of Wete, in the Konga region of southern Ethiopia – this proximity to the school has led Primrose and our green bean partners, Project Origin to work closely with the teachers and staff to provide the support they need to educate local kids. 

As a result, this mill has been able to improve both quality of coffee and quality of life –what we think specialty coffee should be all about. This lot is a beautiful expression of what has made southern Ethiopia renowned across the world for its coffees, with a profile bursting with ripe fruits, expressive florals and high quality acidity.

Origin

Konga, Yirgacheffe District, Ethiopia,

While Ethiopia is famous as coffee’s birthplace, today it remains a favourite of specialty coffee industry for its incredible variety of flavours and ties to the history of coffee. While full traceability has been difficult in recent history, new regulations have made direct purchasing possible. We’re partnering both directly and through our green coffee partners, Project Origin, to help farmers produce top quality specialty lots that are now completely traceable, adding value for farmers and roasters, alike.

ONA Coffee has been sourcing coffee from Ethiopia since 2012, and we are continually amazed by the complexity and quality of the beans in this fascinating country. Ethiopia is home to the oldest and broadest genetic diversity of coffee varieties, as the trees are left to grow wild and naturally mutate to match the landscape around them. This results in a blend of hundreds of varieties when the cherries are picked, creating well-balanced, rounded, cohesive, and complex cup profiles characteristic of Ethiopian coffee.
