Kelloo Uraga Layio – Ethiopia

Layio washing station was founded in 2018, and it is located in Guji (Uraga). The station sits on a small hill at an altitude of 1900 - 2000 masl with good sunlight exposure and cold winds hitting the slope. The average farm size where these coffees are produced is 0.5 - 2 hectares, with good, semi-forest and garden type of vegetation. There are approximately 1800 - 2400 trees planted per hectare, with each tree estimated to produce around 3 kg of cherry. Around 600 neighbouring farmers are delivering cherries. The cherries are delivered mid-day and sorted until late in the afternoon.

This lot comes from farms with a high yield, due to their red, rich, and fertile soil. The farming methods used are of a very high standard, something that is reflected in the quality of the cup.
