Lunke Zegeye Dayechew enforces strict quality control measures at his farm, where red
cherries are carefully sorted upon arrival to remove immature and over-ripened ones before pulping. 

The cherries are pulped within six hours of harvesting and dried on special
raised African beds to ensure even airflow for optimal drying. To prevent mould and
fermentation, the cherries are regularly turned during drying. Once properly dried, the
outer skin and flesh are mechanically removed, and the green coffee is allowed to "rest" before being exported.

The natural forests in the area are not just a scenic backdrop, but a vital local food source. They particularly provide the Ventricosum plant, also known as 'Enset’ or ‘false banana,' which is abundant in the Sidama region. Enset, a large non-woody plant, plays a significant role in the local food supply, highlighting the importance of preserving these natural ecosystems for sustainable agriculture.

Lunke Zegeye Dayechew is dedicated to environmentally friendly farming practices, using natural materials and avoiding pesticides and chemicals in agricultural production.

The coffee beans in this blend began as the seeds of coffee cherries - the seasonal fruit of a tropical forest shrub, grown predominantly in East Africa, Central and South America and Southeast Asia. before being roasted by us, those raw seeds had to be nurtured, carefully hand picked when ripe, fermented, dried and exported. It is a long supply chain fraught with difficulties - that sip of coffee you're enjoying began a long way away and is the result of the hard work of many people.
