From MEL

Yirgacheffe has abundant rainfall and fertile soil that easily decomposes plant matter. Also, in Aricha, the Uegida River flows through the surrounding area, providing abundant water resources.

Processing:

① Small-scale farmers harvest cherries and transport them to nearby washing plants and sales outlets.
② The cherries are spread out on African beds.
③ The cherries are slowly dried for 20 days while being stirred and defects are removed.
④ After dry milling at the hulling plant, the coffee is refined.

In recent years, natural-processed coffee has been gaining attention in the specialty coffee world. However, this is not the overripe or dirty coffee of the past, but rather a clean natural-processed coffee.

The following two points are major reasons for the improvement in the quality of Yirgacheffe G1 Natural: ◆ High-quality cherries that would normally be washed are specially processed using the natural method. ◆ Emphasis is placed on thorough defect removal on African beds and education on slow drying techniques.
