Uraga Station
Tracon Coffee, has been experimenting with new processing methods as a way to increase value and stand out among a growing number of specialty washing stations in Ethiopia. Their Uraga washing station receives cherry from farmers in the surrounding Guji region which is known for its microclimate that helps produce unique coffees.


The Process
Farmers deliver coffee cherries directly to the station where they are first visually inspected in order to only accept fully ripe ones suited for anaerobic fermentation. After that, the cherries are placed in sealed GrainPro bags to ferment anaerobically for 18 to 24 hours. Finally, the cherries are taken out of the bags and laid to sun-dry on raised beds for around 2 to 3 weeks.
